I'm researching the Iraq war rn and could use some books that clearly place the Iraq war as an imperialist war of plunder and discuss it and its effects from that perspective.

Author is a lib, but Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone by Rajiv Chandrasekaran is at least tangentially related, and iirc it was one of the citations for Blowback season 1.
edit: for example, when the book talks about how Halliburton made all you can eat buffets with shitty high fat American food and people were forbidden to leave the Green Zone to eat actual Iraqi food, that shows how much they actually cared about Iraqis and their culture.
