Full Description
In this collection, leading voices against the sanctions document the human, environmental and social toll of the US and UK-led war against Iraq. This updated edition examines George Bush's and Tony Blair's escalation of the conflict as part of their global "war on terrorism", even though no evidence exists that ties Iraq to the tragic events of September 11. Carefully documented, thoroughly researched and written in clear language, "Iraq Under Siege" provides valuable reading for anyone who wants to understand the roots of US policy in Iraq and the Middle East. The volume also includes photographs and first-person accounts from Iraq that show the human story of the sanctions, which have (at the time of publication) been in place for 12 years, ending with concrete ideas on how people can help end the war on Iraq.
