Iraq:
Myth and Reality
by Dilip Hiro
"A scrupulous and discerning vest-pocket
contemporary history of Iraq from a writer with a well-earned
reputation for evenhandedness....Under Hiro's steady and searching
light, no political interest emerges from Iraq's recent history
without blood on its hands or egg on its face, while, it seems,
interest in the Iraqi people has fallen off the radar."

The
Threatening Storm: The Case for Invading Iraq
by Kenneth M. Pollack
"One of the most important books on American
foreign policy in years. There is no greater strategic challenge
than Iraq, and nobody better qualified to tackle it than Kenneth
Pollack. To have such comprehensive, high-quality professional
analysis available publicly and in real time is simply extraordinary.
From now on, all serious debate over how to handle Saddam starts
here." Gideon Rose, Managing Editor, Foreign Affairs

Reckoning: Iraq and the Legacy of Saddam Hussein
by Sandra Mackey
"This highly readable, jargon-free, and
evenhanded book goes a long way in providing a comprehensive
account of Iraq's recent political history to Western readers.
Mackey...has done an admirable job of explaining the myriad
social, political, and cultural forces that have shaped the
contours of the contemporary Iraqi state and its authoritarian
political system." Library Journal

Iraq
Under Siege: The Deadly Impact of Sanctions and War
by Arnove A E
"Here is a brilliantly collated body of unrelenting, undeniable
evidence of the horrors that sanctions and war are visiting
upon the people, in particular the children, of Iraq. For ordinary
citizens sanctions are just another kind of dictatorship. Remote-controlled,
seemingly civilized, they actually, literally, squeeze the very
breath from babies' bodies." Arundhati Roy

War
Crimes: A Report on United States War Crimes Against Iraq
by Ramsey Clark
"This book contains all of the drama of
a well-written novel. The U.S. government that emerges from
this book is an institution so morally depraved that it has
engaged in the destruction of a vital developing nation. The
testimony is well documented...oral testimony includes eye-witness
accounts of people who lived in or visited Iraq." Ken

Dreaming
War: Blood for Oil and the Cheney-Bush Junta
by Gore Vidal
"Another deliciously ill-tempered screed from veteran
gadfly Vidal....That Vidal is fonder of sermonizing than logical
argument, of assertion rather than cold data, is no matter:
this is trademark Goring and unforgiving: woe to its unfortunate
target. A pleasure for those convinced of the present ruling
elite's deep-seated flaws and deeper evils, and tasty food for
thought even for the doubtful." Kirkus Reviews
