Iraq Under Siege: The Deadly Impact of Sanctions and War
Edited by Anthony Arnove
South End Press, 2000; ISBN 0-89608-619-4
From http://www.lbbs.org/sep/iraq.htm:
In this moving new collection, leading voices against the sanctions document the human, environmental, and social toll of the United States-led war against the Iraqi people.
Carefully documented, thoroughly researched, and written in clear language, 'Iraq Under Siege' will be invaluable for anyone wanting to understand the roots of US policy in Iraq and the Middle East — and end the war on the Iraqi people.
"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
"This book gives us a key to understand the New World Order, and warns about how Iraq's tragedy may be a model for global bullying and global impunity in coming times."
— Eduardo Galeano
