- Title
The Iraqi Communist Party 1934–79.
- Authors
Sluglett, Peter
- Abstract
A survey of the history of the Iraqi Communist Party (ICP), from it formation to the rise of Saddam Hussein, is presented. The heydays of the party were in the two decades following the end of World War II when communist activities played a central role in the political, economic and cultural transformations of Iraq. The ICP’s influence has declined sharply in recent times and today it appears on the verge ceasing to exist as an effective political force.
