Prof. Dr Maan Khalil Al-Omar has a keen eye on middle eastern politics. The author is a highly renowned sociologist in his own right and is widely known for his theory "Towards an Arab Sociology", which aims at explaining the sociological issues of the Arab society at length. Born and raised in Iraq, he is deeply acquainted with the internal political scenarios and the elements playing a role in disrupting the peace of this region and aims to reveal the same in this eye-opening book of his. Dr Maan has written more than 70 books on various topics of sociology. He is a strong advocate of social rights and social development of people in general and those of the middle east in particular. Hence, he also serves as an advisor to multiple governmental and non-governmental organisations on critical social issues. In this book, he reveals the social ailments of Iraqi society and makes stark revelations about the agencies acting behind the scenes. The presence of some transnational, particularly Iran backed entities, and their active role in the social and political turmoil of Iraq is appalling, to say the least. The book further reveals how the socio-economic framework of the Iraqi society has been destroyed by external agents playing the power game in this region, including the superpower America, which is the major kingmaker and not the liberal humanitarian it portrays itself to be. Dr Maan gives frequent references to official documents, case studies, factual data, analyses, and theoretical frameworks to back his arguments. He reveals yet another side of the middle eastern conflicts with special reference to the havoc they have wreaked on Iraq. Brace yourself for some dark revelations and get ready to know the other side of the story from an insider and intellectual perspective.
