Abstract
This research note introduces a major archival resource for scholars and analysts interested in the security, foreign and domestic policies of pre-2003 Iraq. Recently released captured records from Saddam Hussein's Iraq are now housed at the Conflict Records Research Center (CRRC), located at the National Defense University in Washington DC, and are available for public use. This expanding collection of documents and audio files of meetings between Saddam Hussein and other Iraqi leaders offers scholars and opportunity to explore topics including Iraqi policies on chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, internal repression, decisions to go to war, policies on terrorism, inter-Arab politics, and foreign relations. Akin to the opening of the Soviet archives, this collection is the first substantial archive on contemporary political and security issues from the Arab world.
