  • "As the United States emerged triumphant from the Cold War, it attempted to use the 1990 Gulf Crisis to shape international order for the post-Cold War period. Saddam Hussein's Iraq responded with a campaign of influence operations to divide the American-led system and make sanctioning Iraq politically difficult. Measuring the effectiveness of influence operations necessitates distinguishing between operational effects and strategic effects. The former measures the ability to ally with foreign partners. The latter, deal with the political impacts. This book's primary contribution is a reassessment of Iraq's international strategy in the 1990s and early 2000s. It is the first book to use the documents of the ruling Iraqi Ba'th Party to do so. The book also contributes to broader post-Cold War international and global history." (éd.)
