Iraq, 1914-1974

 

The following new e-resource was recently added to the Columbia University Libraries website.

 Iraq, 1914-1974: Middle East Online 2 offers a broad range of original source material from the Foreign Office, Colonial Office, War Office and Cabinet Papers covering the period from the Anglo-Indian landing in Basra in 1914 through the British Mandate in Iraq of 1920-32 to the rise of Saddam Hussein in 1974. Here major policy statements and other working documents are set out in context, the minor documents and marginalia revealing the workings of the mandate administration, diplomacy, treaties, oil and arms dealing. Photographs, color maps from The National Archives and contemporary film help bring this vital strand of modern history to life.
