"
Offers us a fascinating new perspective on the Second World War-its impact on local societies in the Middle East." (Richard J. Aldrich, author of
The Black Door)
This dynamic history is the first to construct a total picture of the experience and impact of World War II in Iran and Iraq. Contending that these two countries were more important to the Allied forces' war operations than has ever been acknowledged, historian Ashley Jackson investigates the grand strategy of the Allies and their operations in the region and the continuing legacy of Western intervention in the Middle East.
Iran and Iraq served as the first WWII theater in which the U.S., the U.K., and the U.S.S.R. fought alongside each other. Jackson charts the intense Allied military activity in Iran and Iraq and reveals how deeply the war impacted common people's lives. He also provides revelations about the true nature of Anglo-American relations in the region, the beginnings of the Cold War, and the continuing corrosive legacy of Western influence in these lands.
"Skillfully brings together the complex range of developments that took place in Iraq and Iran during the Second World War." -Evan Mawdsley, author of
December 1941
"A brilliant book that confirms Ashley Jackson's place among the preeminent scholars of the British empire." -Joe Maiolo, author of
Cry Havoc
"Consistently fascinating and thought-provoking." -Simon Ball, author of
The Bitter Sea
"In this lucid work, filled with telling details and well-crafted arguments, Jackson has finally revealed the undoubted significance of Iran and Iraq to the wider war." -NiallBarr, author of
Eisenhower's Armies
