Although it is not widely known in the West, the Iraqi Communist Party has played a pivotal role in the history of Iraq over the course of the 20th century. This volume examines the waxing and waning fortunes of the Iraqi secular left and workers' movements through an examination of the history of the ICP and related organizations. The primary concern of the narrative is how the Party has reacted to changing social and political realities and repression at the hands of successive Iraqi governments.
