Iraq Under Siege
The Deadly Impact of Sanctions and War
Updated Edition
Edited by Anthony Arnove
book notice from South End Press
"This remarkable book is an invaluable documentation of the tragedy, and
deserves reading by every citizen interested in the appalling reality of
US and UK foreign policy." --Edward W. Said
In the critically acclaimed book Iraq Under Siege--now updated to account
for Bush's drive to mount another invasion, and perhaps occupation, of
Iraq--leading voices describe the human, environmental, and social toll
of the US-led war against Iraq. With photographs and first-person
accounts that show the human aspect of the sanctions, the volume points
to concrete measures people can take to end this crisis. Contributors
include Denis Halliday, Anthony Arnove, Peter Pellett, Rania Masri and
Ali Abunimah, Naseer Aruri, Voices in the Wilderness, Sharon Smith, Dr.
Huda S. Ammash, Barbara Nimri Aziz, David Barsamian, Phyllis Bennis,
George Capaccio, Noam Chomsky, Robert Fisk, Kathy Kelly, John Pilger
and Howard Zinn.
Z Magazine describes the book as "a remarkable collection of analytical
essays, emotive calls to action, and useful 'to-do' lists for activists.
It must be read. And it must be acted on." Available from South End Press,
paperback, $16.00. To order, call (800) 533-8478. For more information go
