Review # 1 was written on 2011-08-09 00:00:00 Keri Valdez As George W.Bush,Dick Cheney,Tony Blair and the neocons orchestrated the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and protests raged around the world,Norwegian journalist Asne Seierstad was making plans of her own. She would stay on in Iraq and let the world know about the great atrocities being committed on the pretext of finding "weapons of mass destruction." As a massive aerial bombing campaign got underway,Seierstad knew what she had to do.She had to tell it like it was. The intrepid reporter's war journal depicts the raw suffering of the people of Iraq during the war. She reports what it was like as people started dying,getting maimed,watching their family members killed,their houses get destroyed,and were left without food,water,medicine and doctors. This is a searing and graphic account of some of the greatest atrocities in modern history,of a totally unjustified war,launched on false pretexts. Not an easy book to read,it left me with a lump in my throat.
