Recensioner i media

‘Frank Gunter has written an outstanding book covering the full spectrum of Iraq’s political economy with sufficiently detailed descriptions and analysis to allow for sound policy recommendations. Much has changed, and not all for the best, since the first edition, but Frank continues to provide the same unique perspective, that of an expert who combines theory with actual on-the-ground in Iraq experience, that is sorely needed for understanding Iraq’s political economy.’
