Review by Geoff Simons '...of inestimable importance.' - Robert Fox, The Times 'A long-overdue account of the war from the Iraqi viewpoint brings to life the pathos of ordinary civilians.' - Anton La Guardia, Daily Telegraph 'This is an important book. As an Arab journalist Chehab has succeeded in interviewing both insurgents and members of the Iraqi government to give a much fuller picture of life in Iraq under American occupation. He manages to build up a picture of the complexities of the Iraqi political, religious and ethnic divisions which makes clear the challenges of rebuilding an Iraqi state - complexities far beyond the understanding of American political and military occupiers.' - Chartist New Statesman, 21 August 2006.
