The Deadly Impact of Sanctions and War
edited by Anthony Arnove
This remarkable book is an invaluable documentation of the tragedy, and
deserves reading by every citizen interested in the appalling reality of
US and UK foreign policy.

In this critically acclaimed collection--now updated to account for
Bush's drive to mount another invasion, and perhaps occupation, of
Iraq--leading voices against the sanctions describe the human,
environmental, and social toll of the United States-led war against
Iraq.
The updated edition examines the current drive to invade Iraq as part
of George Bush's global "war on terrorism." With photographs and
first-person accounts from Iraq that show the human aspect of the
sanctions, the volume points to concrete measures people can take to end
this crisis.
This edition includes a new afterword by Denis Halliday and updates of
the Introduction by Anthony Arnove and the chapters by Peter Pellett,
Rania Masri and Ali Abunimah, Naseer Aruri, Voices in the Wilderness,
and Sharon Smith.
Other contributors include: Dr. Huda S. Ammash, Barbara Nimri Aziz,
David Barsamian, Phyllis Bennis, George Capaccio, Noam Chomsky, Robert
Fisk, Kathy Kelly, John Pilger, and Howard Zinn.
