Here is a history of the war in Iraq as told entirely by Iraqis living through the U.S. invasion and occupation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeginning in 2003, this intimate narrative includes the experiential accounts of civilians, politicians, former dissidents, insurgents, and militiamen. Iraqis offering firsthand stories range from onetime Prime Minister Ayad Allawi to resistance fighters speaking on the condition of anonymity. Divided into five parts, these interviews recount the 2003 invasion; Iraq's gradual slide into chaos from 2004 to 2005; the start of a new order in 2006; the rise of open sectarian violence over the next two years; and the effort since 2008 to reconstruct a society from relative calm. Each section includes interviews grouped into themes, with brief epilogues for the participants. Not since Studs Terkel's \u003ci\u003eThe Good War\u003c\/i\u003e has a book captured so acutely the human consequences of a conflict we are still struggling to understand. \u003ci\u003eVoices from Iraq\u003c\/i\u003e makes utterly vivid the meaning and legacy of America's campaign in Iraq.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Kukis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231156928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231156929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.36w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2011","brand":"Mark Kukis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43981517586687,"sku":"9780231156929","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b386441a-3b9d-494c-8960-111b836bbfe6.jpg?v=1683256050","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/voices-from-iraq-mark-kukis-9780231156929","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
