Secrets of Iraqi Regime

Secrets of Iraqi Regime

Authoritarian systems often rely on secrecy as much as coercion to sustain their power. Secrets of Iraqi Regime offers an inside-oriented examination of the political, security, and institutional mechanisms that underpinned the Iraqi state under authoritarian rule.

About the Book Secrets of Iraqi Regime explores the internal functioning of Iraq’s ruling apparatus, focusing on intelligence services, political control, and elite power networks. The book sheds light on how secrecy, surveillance, and fear were systematically employed to maintain regime stability. Rather than presenting Iraq’s governance as monolithic, it reveals layers of rivalry, mistrust, and internal fragmentation within the regime itself. The work situates these mechanisms within broader regional and historical contexts, explaining how domestic repression interacted with external conflict and international isolation.
