| Summary |
"The people of Iraq suffered for more than a decade from the most severe sanctions ever imposed on any nation in history. United Nations' sanctions against Iraq began in August 1990, as an attempt to force Iraq out of Kuwait. The contributors to this volume include leading academics and human rights campaigners. They reveal why the sanctions regime failed in its most basic aims, and ask serious questions about the real motivations of the powers involved - notably the US and the UK."--Jacket. |
