In Iraq in Wartime: Soldiering, Martyrdom, and Remembrance (Cambridge University Press, 2013), Prof. Dina Khoury examines the profound impact of Iraq's long engagement with war on the everyday engagement of its citizens with politics, the business of managing their daily lives, and their cultural imagination. Starting with the Iran-Iraq War, through the First Gulf War and sanctions, she traces the political, social, and cultural processes of the normalization of war in Iraq during the last twenty-three years of Ba'thist rule. Drawing on government documents and interviews, Iraq in Wartime argues that war was a form of everyday bureaucratic governance and examines the Iraqi government's policies of creating consent, managing resistance and religious diversity, and shaping public culture.
