Items related to Collateral Damage: America's War Against Iraqi...
Best-selling author and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges and journalist Laila Al-Arian spent the past year interviewing over fifty veterans to expose the patterns of the occupation in Iraq. The testimonies of these soldiers—many of who remain deeply traumatized by their experiences—uncover how the very conduct of the war and occupation have turned the American forces into agents of terror for most Iraqis.
Collateral Damage is organized around key military operations—Convoys, Checkpoints, Detentions, Raids, Suppressive Fire, and “Hearts and Minds.” Military convoys traveling at tremendous speeds through towns have become trains of death. Civilians are routinely run over or shot to death. Soldiers fire upon Iraqi vehicles with impunity at checkpoints. Late-night detentions based on shoddy intelligence terrify women, traumatize children, and radicalize the young men caught in their dragnet.
These soldiers have found the moral courage to speak out about the true nature of a war that has become one long, unchecked atrocity, and has given rise to the instability, sectarian violence and chaos that we witness today in Iraq.

About the Author:
Chris Hedges is a Senior Fellow at The Nation Institute and the author of several bestselling books including War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning and American Fascists.
From AudioFile:
Laila Al-Arian is a freelance journalist who has written for United Press International, and the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs.
Two award-winning journalists team up to deliver this controversial yet well-researched account, which details the venality of war and the murders and slayings of innocent Iraqi citizens at the hands of American soldiers. With a large number of recorded interviews conducted with combat veterans, the true dogs of war are revealed for all to hear. Narrator Lloyd James is aware of the controversial nature of the material and delivers a respectful and ultimately powerful reading that presents it in a matter-of-fact light. Never preaching or editorializing in its tone, James's narration is affecting without sounding manufactured. Endlessly heartbreaking yet vital for all to hear. L.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
