1942ABC_47444Baghdad: PAI force G. H. Q. Welfare Committee 1942. Original publisher's beige printed paper wrappers. 14.5 x 11 cm. With two full-page maps of Iraq and Baghdad on page 24 and 25 and a full-page map of the "Baghdad Amenities area" on the back wrapper. Further with 6 pages of advertisements serving as endleaves. A very rare guide intended for British armed forces stationed in Iraq during the Second World War. It was probably handed to the soldiers soon after arrival. Works like these were often discarded when they were no longer needed. As such there are usually few of them left. This particular military guide is likewise extremely rare. We have only been able to find 3 other copies 2 of which are located at the Imperial War Museum in London.The Services guide to Iraq was probably published by the welfare committee of the British PAI force which is short for "Persia and Iraq Force". The British were stationed here to prevent Nazi Germany from invading the region for oil among other reasons. The guide was meant to teach the soldiers the basics of finding their way in this new country. It explains where to go for sports music religion legal aid education the costs of sending letters home and how to recognize and prevent various tropical diseases. It also aims to instill some cultural awareness in the reader: included is an excerpt of a work about the history of Iraq by Seton Lloyd 1902-1996 archaeologist and then curator at the Baghdad museum.The paper wrappers are torn at the bottom of the spine with some loss of material barely affecting the integrity of the binding a small stain and two small pen marks in red and green on the front wrapper. Somewhat browned throughout. Otherwise in good condition.l Not in WorldCat. PAI force G. H. Q. Welfare Committee, unknown

1917178262Basrah: The Basrah Times 1917. Empire and Pan-Arabism Two leaves from the first and only issue of the Basrah Times 20 March 1917 printing Sir Frederick Stanley Maude's appeal to the people of Baghdad province issued nine days after the British capture of the city. The proclamation marks a turning point in the First World War exemplifies imperial rhetoric and foreshadows the tensions between colonial authority and national aspiration that shaped the following decade in Iraq. Although Basrah fell in November 1914 Baghdad was secured only after a further two and a half years of campaigning. Maude drove the advance restoring supply lines and winning successive engagements at Hayy Dahra and Kut before the final assault. The proclamation presents the British not as conquerors but as liberators promising renewal after centuries of foreign rule and invoking the recent success of the Arab Revolt under Sharif Hussein as a model of independence and unity. Yet this balance between nationalist promise and imperial control proved unstable: the post-war Mandate endured only until the revolt of 1920 forced political transition culminating in Faisal's election as king in 1921. Two sheets each approximately 440 x 285 mm laid down on thick card framed and glazed. Text in English and Arabic. Sheets toned and with creases from old folds minor foxing a few short tears one small hole to centre of one sheet affecting one letter: a very good set. unknown

1970ABC_46826Iraq: Central Statistical Organization 1970. Original printed publisher's wrappers. Folio 28.5 x 21 cm. With multiple graphs on 8 leaves most of them in the text. The main price-information is arranged in tables all tables and other introductory information are printed on 1 side of the leaves from right to left on the recto side of the leaves excluding the information in English which has from that perspective been printed on the verso side of the leaves. A statistical overview of the changes in wholesale and retail prices of among other things agricultural animal electronic and textile products in Iraq during the second half of 1970. The elaborate information gathered and presented in the present work by the index numbers & prices department of the central statistical organization of the ministry of planning of the Republic of Iraq has mostly been arranged in tables supplemented with some graphs. The information is organised by general geographical districts in the north middle and south of the country and assessing the prices of products on markets in Baghdad the capital of Iraq separately as its own densely populated district. The present work was published as a supplement to the original bulletin on prices for the first half of 1970 in an effort to bridge the gap in data supply as the Index numbers & Prices department tried to change the publishing frequency from once or twice a year to quarterly and eventually to monthly statements on the changing prices. The information is presented both in Arabic and in English for the purpose of providing a wider range of people and organisations with the information. The Arabic information of course reads from right to left and the tables with the information in both languages are oriented in the same way and the English list of contents and introductory information can be found at the back of the work to be read from left to right. Iraq experienced considerable economic development during the second half of the 20th century. By 1980 its complex central state-planned economy had become the second largest economy in the Arab world after Saudi Arabia. To achieve such development people had to keep a close eye on changing wholesale and retail prices in order to keep changes in inflation and purchasing power in check.Wrapper worn and stained with a blue stamp on the wrapper with the title in Arabic front or back wrapper some staining to the first 4-5 leaves at both English and Arabic ends of the work otherwise internally good and clean.

1922173026London: HMSO Press Harrow & Harrison & Sons Ltd 1922 1923 & 1923 1924. Background intelligence on Faisal's Iraq First editions of two regional sitreps issued after the 1920 Iraqi Revolt and Faisal's installation in 1921 prepared for British officials administering the new monarchy. Both are rare - print runs of 1375 likely with fewer distributed - with only five and four institutional copies traced. Each is marked Provisional and Confidential; Area 1 is additionally stamped "secret" in a contemporary hand. The projected 10-volume series was never completed and surviving instalments sometimes titled Military Report on Iraq are scarce. Compiled at short notice on the model of Naval Intelligence Division geographical handbooks the reports provide concise local intelligence: historical and geographical survey then climate resources ethnography tribal structure leading figures communications transport and routes with technical appendices. Area 1 Northern Jazirah covers northern Iraq and adjacent Turkey and Syria stressing weak British influence and the prestige lost through unchecked tribal raiding after 1919. Its core is a detailed tribal analysis supplemented by contemporary intelligence annotations on succession disputes and political loyalties. Area 7 Tigris surveys the settled agricultural belt from Kut to Qurnah and the Shatt al-Arab reflecting greater stability and asserting that firm but protective rule could secure order. Detailed appendices describe estates shaikhs armed retainers and agricultural practice. Together the volumes offer granular evidence of British intelligence gathering during the improvised creation of the Iraqi state in the early 1920s. 2 vols octavo. Area 1 pp. viii 240 with a folding table and numerous tables to the text; Area 7 pp. ii 184 3 folding many to the text. Both in original greyish yellow printed boards cloth backstrips first with reddish orange spine the second greyish green. Both volumes in field service condition and lacking the maps called for spines sunned and chipped some repairs "Mespots" added in white ink boards rubbed and lightly stained hinges occasionally cracked with some repairs and a little play but the internal binding sound; contents toned but generally clean; for such fragile productions both remain surprisingly well preserved very good. hardcover
