Inside the Iraq Invasion: The Hidden Forces That Drove a Nation to Ruin

By Ruşen Tuncay Koç and Layne Moss

Inside the Iraq Invasion offers a revealing, human-centered examination of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Drawing on official records, investigative reporting, and eyewitness accounts, this book exposes the fabricated intelligence, ideological motives, and political maneuvering that shaped one of the 21st century's most consequential conflicts.

From the rapid military victory to the collapse of civil infrastructure, from sectarian governance to environmental devastation, the war left deep scars on Iraq and reshaped global politics. This book explores the staggering human cost, including hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths, millions displaced, and long-term social, political, and economic repercussions.
