An Authoritative Book That Fills the Legal Void
3 Nov 2009
Format:Paperback
In this book, Professor Mallat -- already a noted expert on Middle Eastern legal systems -- turns his attention to the law of Iraq and the policy issues associated therewith. It is perhaps the most direct treatment of Iraqi law in any book thus far, providing the most complete description of Iraqi courts and the Iraqi legal system available. In addition, the book is characterized by serious analysis of Iraqi legislation (to include its nascent constitution) and the sort of insight that only a world-class comparativist like Professor Mallat can provide. It is a fantastic resource and an important contribution. This is essential reading for policy makers and international actors seeking to operate in Iraq.
Iraq's Future
1 July 2010
Format:Paperback
At many levels, this book is important, and merits readers among military officers, lawyers, government officials, aid workers, diplomats, and businessmen working in or near to the state of Iraq. What's intriguing about the book is that is partly a legal text--one of the first in English--partly a history, and partly a memoir about the constitutional problems and challenges facing Iraq's emergence as a nation under laws, not strongmen. I am not a lawyer, but I found the chapter entitled, "The Trial of Saddam Hussein," riveting.
If you are being sent to work in Iraq, this is the book that you will want bring along, and will consult, no matter what challenges you face. It covers the judiciary, economy, politics, oil, the role of the UN, political parties, the constitution, and the coalition government. In between, and what makes the book special, is that Dr. Mallat (who has been a candidate for the presidency in Lebanon) includes some of his articles about the war and its aftermath, and his analysis of Iraq's past and future is some of the best in English.
When you have had a chance to hold in your hand and read this book, you will feel more optimistic about Iraq's future. Buy it.
