Time magazine listed him as one of its "100 People Who Shape Our World." Newsweek featured him on its cover under the headline "How Al-Sadr May Control U.S. Fate in Iraq." Paul Bremer denounced him as a "Bolshevik Islamist" and ordered that he be captured "dead or alive." Who is Muqtada al-Sadr, and why is he so vital to the future of Iraq and, arguably, the entire Middle East? In this compellingly readable account, prize-winning journalist Patrick Cockburn tells the story of Muqtada's rise to become the leader of Iraq's poor Shi'ites and the resistance to the occupation. Cockburn looks at the killings by Saddam's executioners and hit men of the young cleric's father, two brothers, and father-in-law; his leadership of the seventy-thousand-strong Mehdi Army; the fierce rivalries between him and other Shia religious leaders; his complex relationship with the Iraqi government; and his frequent confrontations with the American military, including battles that took place in Najaf in 2004. The portrait that emerges is of a complex man and a sophisticated politician, who engages with religious and nationalist aspirations in a manner unlike any other Iraqi leader. Cockburn, who was among the very few Western journalists to remain in Baghdad during the Gulf War and has been an intrepid reporter of Iraq ever since, draws on his extensive firsthand experience in the country to produce a book that is richly interwoven with the voices of Iraqis themselves. His personal encounters with the Mehdi Army include a tense occasion when he was nearly killed at a roadblock outside the city of Kufa. Though it often reads like an adventure story, Muqtada is also a work of painstaking research and measured analysis that leads to a deeper understanding both of one of the most critical conflicts in the world today and of the man who may well be a decisive voice in determining the future of Iraq when the Americans eventually leave.

Muqtada al-Sadr has used strange and weird strategies in the war against America since 2003. So that he could make a shift at the level of the American mood and decision, in the administration and the army and even in the American people themselves. Until the imposition of the withdrawal from Iraq in 2011, as demanded. Kokburn, Harold North, Duck Camp, and many others have written about the US war in Iraq and Muqtada al-Sadr. But what distinguishes this book are those hidden issues and strange details, on the other side of the battle, which was abandoned by the global media and the Western journalists, and presented by this author throughout his pages. As an Iraqi, and working with Muqtada al-Sadr, close to the arena of events and its scenes. He has actually met Muqtada al-Sadr, having a close sight on his words and actions closely and accurately, so you will find details and things that the American and European authors could not discover.I tried to making this book to pleasing to the intellectual and academic readers, especially readers of the author Kokburn. In addition to that of the ordinary reader, because the events of Iraq and the character of Moqtada al-Sadr are exactly what the media is currently discussing, now and for years to come. In addition, the interest of the research centers, universities and official libraries and political science students in Iraqi events and the Sadrist movement is attributed to its political importance in Iraqi reality.

This is the first book about Muqtada al Sadr, the most important political figure in post-occupation Iraq. Muqtada has become the kingmaker of Iraq and a force that is indispensable to any Iraqi government: the Mehdi Army, his devoted militia, now rules half of Baghdad. Far from being the 'firebrand cleric' portrayed in the western media, he is an astute and experienced politician who struggles to lead an anarchic mass movement that he only half controls. In a compelling narrative, award-winning war correspondent Patrick Cockburn charts the rise of Muqtada, and has written an essential book for our understanding of Iraq's future. Cockburn has reported from Iraq since 1977, often at great personal risk, and Muqtada al Sadr and the Fall of Iraq combines first hand accounts of his investigations with vivid and dismaying descriptions of the civil war that is tearing the country apart.

"This monograph considers both the future of Iraq and the differences and similarities between events in Iraq and the Arab Spring states. The author analyzes the nature of Iraqi de-Ba'athification and carefully evaluates the rationales and results of actions taken by both Americans and Iraqis involved in the process. While there are many differences between the formation of Iraq's post-Saddam Hussein government and the current efforts of some Arab Spring governing bodies to restructure their political institutions, it is possible to identify parallels between Iraq and Arab Spring countries. As in Iraq, new Arab Spring governments will have to apportion power, build or reform key institutions, establish political legitimacy for those institutions, and accommodate the enhanced expectations of their publics in a post-revolutionary environment. A great deal can go wrong in these circumstances, and any lessons that can be gleaned from earlier conflicts will be of considerable value to those nations facing these problems, as well as their regional and extra-regional allies seeking to help them. Moreover, officers and senior noncommissioned officers of the U.S. Army must realize that they may often have unique opportunities and unique credibility to offer advice on the lessons of Iraq to their counterparts in some of the Arab Spring nations."-- Publisher's website

Patrick Cockburn is an important and well-informed journalist, with a keen interest in events in Iraq since 1980. His book "Muqtada al-Sadr and the Fall of Iraq" is crucial for understanding the recent political equations governing Iraq, after the US invasion of 2003.He has been able to diagnose the implications for Iraq's future, of the newly popular force. Cockburn documented the socio-political conditions and day-to-day events on the ground in Iraq for about 30 years, which have given rise to the young cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, and his entry into the global limelight. The author's understanding is that Cockburn has succeeded in documenting events with a highly professional and solid craftsmanship, away from the ideological backgrounds of Muqtada al-Sadr. So, if you're looking for a thematic biography of the rebel al-Sadr, then you'll be disappointed, since the understanding of Muqtada's personality, intentions as well as documentation of the man's rapid learning curve and steadily sharpened political nature from the beginnings of the occupation, aren't substantively addressed in his book. So, some readers could find themselves disappointed, because they may find that although events are documented professionally, but it is done without the intellectual and ideological background to explain the reasons for these events. One can't really blame Cockburn, because of the difficulty of direct contact with Muqtada himself, during those years, and the lack of access to the primary source material on his principles, his personal opinions and sentiments.The book contains a vision very close to muqtada al-sadr's. The author has worked with him, observed the iraqi events since 1970, understood the intellectual and ideological background, explained the reason of these events, and tried to link the movement of muqtada al-sadr on the one hand with the activity of che guevara. Guevara is known to the reader through the EU and the US as expressing the modern leftist line, which faced imperialism and injustice, and sacrificed for humanity and freedom. Further, the author tries to explain the religious behavior of Muqtada al-Sadr according to Christian concepts, as understood by readers in Europe and America.

The Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units has recently completed its transformation from a loose coalition of militant group groups to a semi-state actor, entrenched in Iraqi state institutions thanks to the large victory of a number of its leaders in the recent Iraqi elections under the label of the Fateh Coalition. The PMU emerged in 2014 when it conglomerated a number of substrate armed groups under the banner of the Hashd al-Shaabi at the behest of the prime minister, Nouri Maliki Al-Maliki and after a call by the country’s highest Shiite cleric, Ayatollah Ali Sistani, to fight the escalating terror of the so-called caliphate. The emergence of this new non-state armed actor in a country was sectarian rivalries are historically high and where power centers are traditionally weak triggered a large debate within the think tank world, with many experts labeling the PMU as an Iranian proxy. However, this report will show that while a segment of the PMU falls within Iran’s larger regional security program, a Hezbollization as a whole of the PMU will represent a challenge for Iran due to local Iraqi dynamics, the financial and ideological independence and new-found pragmatism shown by influential Iraqi figures and the competition within the pro-Iran militant groups. Based on a series of interviews with PMU commanders in Iraq and local and international experts, this report will look at the evolution of the PMU and the impact of its integration within the state apparatus.
