Description
Book SynopsisSince 2001, unembedded journalist Dahr Jamail has filed indispensable reports from Iraq that have made him this generation's chronicler of the unfolding disaster there. His behind-the-scenes book takes us past the lies of our political leaders, past the cowardice of the mainstream press, into the streets, homes and lives of Iraqis living under US occupation. He also reveals never-before-published details about the siege of Fallujah and the origins of the Iraq insurgency. Includes a foreword by Amy Goodman, host of the Democracy Now! radio programme.
Trade Review"This fascinating, eye-opening document of Iraq's day-to-day has a unique perspective and moments of incredible impact."--Publishers Weekly "An urgent, in-the-trenches report on the dire humanitarian crisis."--Kirkus Reviews "I suspect Jamail's account will prove an enduring document of what really happened during the chaotic years of occupation. If, years from now, Americans are willing to read any books about the war, this one should be among them. It tells everything."--Mother Jones
