Biography

Rony Gabbay

Original Reviews of Communism and Agrarian Reform in Iraq:

‘Modern Iraqi history suffers from a lack of monographs and case studies on subjects such as rural affairs. Rony Gabbay’s research helps to fill this vacuum… even today Gabbay’s [volume] is an important source for the history of the Iraqi Communist Party…Gabbay provides useful information on the socioeconomic position of the rural classes, and a clear picture of their severe oppression…Gabbay’s book is among the few studies one can recommend on modern Iraq…’ Tom Nieuwenhuis, Middle East Research and Information Project (1984)

‘…detailed and well-documented…’ Robert A. Fernea, International Journal of Middle East Studies, Vol 13, Issue 4 (1981).
