Collateral Damage: America's War Against Iraqi Civilians

$22.95

By Chris Hedges and Laila Al-Arian

Based on hundreds of hours of interviews with combat veterans, this book represents the largest number of named eyewitnesses from within the U.S. military to have testified on he record. These veterans, many of whom have come to oppose the war, explain the tactics and operations that have turned many Iraqis against the U.S. military.

The veterans describe convoys of dozens of vehicles roaring down Iraqi roads, jumping medians, smashing into civilian cars, and hitting Iraqi civilians without stopping to survey the damage. They detail raids that leave homes ransacked and families humiliated, shaking with fear, or shot dead in the mayhem.

The soldiers and Marines interviewed in Collateral Damage describe the venality of a war fought largely out of view of journalists and television cameras. A stark and unflinching narrative, Collateral Damage exposes the true consequences of the war that the U.S. government has unleashed in Iraq.
