Book Subtitle | Stories From the New Iraq |
Book Description | As a journalist, McCarthy found that the perspective of ordinary Iraqis was frighteningly absent from news reports of the conflict. His book is an attempt to rectify that by capturing individual stories — stories that have been little heard in the West. |
Editorial Review | "A brilliant, insightful account of how Iraqis have viewed our invasion. McCarthy meets ordinary and extraordinary Iraqis, taking considerable risks in doing so. This is some of the best writing about Iraq since the war began" -- Jon Snow "This is an excellent book, written with perception and empathy, it gives us rare access to the thinking of a population deeply traumatised by dictatorship, brutality and civil war" -- Toby Dodge, expert on Iraqi politics at the University of London and for the International Institute of Strategic Studies |
