CHIASMOS: McQuire Gibson and Fred Donner -- Iraq before Saddam Hussein; Salim Yaqub and Rashid Khalidi -- Constraining and Shaping Nationalism: The United States and Iraq; John Mearsheimer and Robert Pape -- The War in Iraq and America's Role in the World

[These are all from 2003 in the aftermath of the USA's invasion and occupation of Iraq, but they provide a good glimpse into the knowledge/understanding about the causes and consequences at that time. Also very useful for those still seeking to understand about the causes and consequences.]
