- catalog abstract "'Independent Iraq' offers a fresh interpretation of the political history of the Iraqi monarchy from 1941, when British forces overthrew the pro-German government of Rashid Ali al-Kailani, and the coup d'etat of 1958. Although after 'Independence' Britain continued to enjoy certain political, administrative and military privileges, 1941 was a turning-point in two senses. Firstly, a period of political instability characterized by divisions inside the regime, a series of tribal insurrections, assassinations and coups d'etat gave way to a period of greater internal cohesion and peaceful political competition. Secondly, the British abandoned their earlier passive conservatism to advance political, social and economic reform. Underlying this change, and providing its main impetus, was a recognition by Britain, and to some extent by the Iraqi regime, that a change in Iraqi society and attitudes - in particular the spread of education - now posed an increasing threat to both the Iraqi establishment and British influence. This account begins with an examination of how government and politics operated in monarchical Iraq and concludes with a review of the different stages and methods of British influence.".
