Description
Ghaith Abdul-Ahad—one of the world's foremost war correspondents—presents in this essential, heartbreaking account of two decades of reporting from Iraq his most complete and most personally searching examination of what the American invasion, the sectarian war, and the rise of ISIS have actually meant for the people who have had to live through it. Written with the moral intelligence and the genuine human empathy for all the people on every side of the conflict that distinguish genuinely important war journalism from the merely dramatic, this is essential reading for every person who wants to understand Iraq as a human story rather than a geopolitical abstraction. A landmark work.
