註釋
Drawing primarily from US State Department archives and the four volumes of the official British history of World War I in Mesopotamia (published during 1923-1927), Majd reconstructs the political and military history of Iraq in World War I, a period that began with fierce Iraqi resistance against the British and ended with the consolidation of British control under the mandate system. In addition to documenting the military ebb and flow of Britain's colonial project in Iraq, Majd also presents two chapters considering the aftermath of the war in terms of Iraq's commercial decline and the impact of disease.
