Iraq Under Siege The Deadly Impact of Sanctions and War Hardcover - 2000

by n/a

From the publisher

The last nine years of sanctions imposed on Iraq have claimed more than 500,000 lives, many of them children under five, according to Unicef and the World Health Organization.

Because the sanctions have prevented Iraq from importing basic necessities needed for medical treatment, easily preventable diseases have taken a devastating toll on the Iraqi people, while Saddam Hussein and his powerful friends remain unaffected.

In this moving new collection, leading voices against the sanctions document the human, environmental, and social toll of the United States-led war against Iraq. Iraq Under Siege includes chapters by leading scholars and activists, including Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Kathy Kelly, Voices in the Wilderness, Naseer Aruri, Barbara Nimri Aziz, Phyllis Bennis, Sharon Smith, George Capaccio, Dr. Peter Pellett, Dr. Huda Ammash, and Rania Masri. It features a compelling argument against sanctions by Denis Halliday, the UN official whose resignation in protest over sanctions was covered widely by media outlets internationally.

Carefully documented, thoroughly researched, and written in clear language, Iraq Under Siege is invaluable for anyone wanting to understand the roots of U.S. policy in Iraq and the Middle East. The volume also includes photographs and first-person accounts from Iraq that show the human story of the sanctions, ending with concrete ideas on what people can do to help end them.

First line

Though no connection between Iraq and the terrorist attacks of September 11 has been found, the Bush administration has significantly raised expectations that it will again invade Iraq as it extends its "war on terrorism" into new countries.l
