Iraq Under Siege: The Deadly Impact of Sanctions and WarAnthony Arnove In this critically acclaimed collection, leading voices against the sanctions document the human, environmental, and social toll of the US- and UK-led war against Iraq. This updated edition examines the current drive to invade Iraq as part of George Bush's and Tony Blair's global "war on terrorism, " even though no evidence exists that ties Iraq to the tragic events of September 11. Carefully documented and written in clear language, Iraq Under Siege is invaluable for anyone wanting to understand the roots of US and UK policy in Iraq and the Middle East. The volume includes photographs and first-person accounts from Iraq that show the human story of the sanctions, which have now been in place for 12 years, ending with concrete ideas on how people can help end them. |
