The following is a selection of relevant and poignant articles that I have found, or that have been recommended to me while researching the history and motivations of US involvement with Iraq. I have tried to highlight articles that refer directly to primary sources or first hand experience, while representing a solid alternative to the mainstream understanding.

Please send any additions or comments to dru@monkeyfist.com
