My Memoirs: The Struggle for Democracy in Iraq. Mohammad Hadid was one of the most prominent progressive national figures in Iraq, respected by Iraqis of all political views and affiliations. Known for his extensive modern culture, absolute integrity, and deep, thoughtful reasoning, he was esteemed across all political regimes in Iraq, both under the monarchy and the republic. Mohammad Hadid held several ministries during his political career, deriving his strength from his competence, integrity, and culture. He was the politician who neither sought position nor retreated from a stance for personal gain, nor did his belonging to a wealthy family from Mosul prevent him from embracing moderate progressive socialist ideas he deemed essential for uplifting his people. He was an idealistic thinker with a realistic vision, attempting to reconcile national aspirations with available possibilities. Mohammad Hadid spent his final years in London for treatment and rest, during which he dictated his memoirs, though he could not review or refine them himself. These memoirs narrate his personal and political journey from his birth in Mosul, his studies in England, and his political work in Iraq. They extensively cover his role in oil negotiations with foreign companies, culminating in the enactment of Law No. 80, which he specifically conceived and engineered. The memoirs include details about Abd al-Karim Qasim's demand for Kuwait, the activities of the National Democratic Party, the discord at the end of Abd al-Karim Qasim's era, his disagreement with his old friend Kamel al-Gadaerji, his resignation from both the ministry and the party, and the founding of a new party, 'The Progressive National Party.' The memoirs also contain a section evaluating Abd al-Karim Qasim's era, written by a figure who was a cornerstone and one of its prominent figures, providing an objective presentation of the regime's most significant negative and positive aspects. Mohammad Hadid's memoirs offer a frank and realistic response with high ethical standards, free of malice, free from boasting, and with no exaggeration of his personal role in shaping events. They cast significant light on many aspects of Iraq's political history.
