Beyond the Green Zone

"Beyond the Green Zone is Dahr Jamail's critically acclaimed, indispensable account of life in Iraq under U.S. occupation. Named by AlterNet as one of the top three progressive books of 2007, alongside Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine and Jeremy Scahill's Blackwater, Beyond the Green Zone goes past the polished desks of the corporate media and Washington politicians to tell firsthand the reality of life in Iraq. This widely read account offers lyrical journalism, personal reflection, incisive analysis, and ground-breaking reportage, including previously unpublished details of the first years of occupation."--Publisher description.
