Editorial Review | “Cockburn’s eye for the telling detail lifts The Occupation above the usual journalist’s account of the Iraq war.”—New York Times “Cockburn’s account of the evolving conflict ... is informed by his keen personal observations and understanding of the complexities and horrors of daily life in Iraq.”—Library Journal “Of the raft of books about the calamitous mismanagement of the intervention in Iraq, The Occupation is probably the most readable and certainly the only one that—even if only in the driest possible way—manages to be amusing.”—Christopher Hitchens, Slate |
