Title: One of the better books out there on the U.S. occupation of Iraq
Review: Though not a gigantic read, this brief book clearly details what is being done with our tax dollars to the impoverished people of Iraq. Along with some really strong photo documentation, this book includes an excellent collection of essays by some very important writers on the left like Amy Goodman, Howard Zinn, Christian Parenti, and Mike Davis. My favorite essay however was the one written by Naomi Klein, author of "No Logo", another crucial book. In this essay, Klein talks about the need to bridge the anti-war movement with the global justice movement. This is a discussion very much needed in the peace movement, because until we build a fair and truly democratic economy, we cannot possibly end the tragedy of war. Not only is this a good (though depressing) read, it's an excellent tool for public education. Buy it and then share it with friends! Why not donate a copy to a school or a public library?
