Taylor & Francis Ltd Maurits of Nassau and the Survival of the Dutch
Book SynopsisThis book describes the crucial period in the monumental eighty-year Dutch struggle against the Spanish Empire, through which a small nation gained its independence from one of the mightiest European powers. Dr. Ridley shows how even though the Dutch Revolt was at its lowest point, Maurits of Nassau and the Dutch fought on and the Revolt survived. It was a turbulent time, with complex diplomacy and shifting alliances, assassination plots, France torn by civil war, Spain spearheading the Counter-Reformation, England facing invasion and Europe eventually convulsed with the Thirty Years'' War. In all these, the Dutch Revolt was a significant factor.The book also explores subsequent insurgencies over the following three centuries where nationalist groups revolted against European powers, and analyzes and identifies essential factors for a successful insurgency. The key roles of finance and international relations in insurgencies are emphasized.

Taylor & Francis Why Did the United States Invade Iraq
Book SynopsisThis edited volume presents the foremost scholarly thinking on why the US invaded Iraq in 2003, a pivotal event in both modern US foreign policy and international politics.In the years since the US invasion of Iraq it has become clear that the threat of weapons of mass destruction was not as urgent as the Bush administration presented it and that Saddam Hussein was not involved with either Al Qaeda or 9/11. Many consider the war a mistake and question why Iraq was invaded. A majority of Americans now believe that the public were deliberately misled by the Bush administration in order to bolster support for the war. Public doubt has been strengthened by the growing number of critical scholarly analyses and in-depth journalistic investigations about the invasion that suggest the administration was not candid about its reasons for wanting to take action against Iraq.This volume begins with a survey of private scholarly views about the warâs origins, then assesses the currTrade Review'This edited volume pursues the true causes of the Iraq War. It tests leading explanations of the Iraq war against historical evidence, and updates our historical understanding of events surrounding the war with new evidence that recently surfaced about what information leaders had, what they chose to share with the public, the timing of their decisions behind closed doors. The volume also explores the ideologies that guided these leaders. It will not be the last word on this tragic war, but it reveals how new information can be used to refine our understanding of this important instance of war...' - Stephen Van Evera, Massachusetts Institute of Technology'Just as scholars continue to debate the origins of World War I, we will never know for certain what motivated George W. Bush to launch a war against Iraq in March 2003. The reasons for this misguided use of American military power are still shrouded in mystery, and the search for truth is clouded by partisanship and ideology. This book pierces that veil. …. The volume demonstrates that it is possible to have a serious and fruitful debate about the Iraq war after the fact, and therefore should help to inform future policy makers as they contemplate the use of force in similar circumstances.' -- Christopher Preble, Cato Institute, Washington DC'What determined and motivated the decision to invade Iraq in 2003, perhaps the greatest debacle in American foreign policy history after Vietnam? This book brings together an excellent band of authors in a vigorous, engaging, and highly informative effort to parse this important issue.’ -- John Mueller, Ohio State UniversityTable of Contents1.
