The Freedom by Christian Parenti
A first-hand view of the war in Iraq argues that the conflict is largely disorganized and unnecessarily deadly, sharing the experiences of such individuals as a disadvantaged relative of Saddam Hussein, a former Fedayeen fighter who loves western culture, underage prostitutes who solicit U.S. soldiers.
"For those who desire a taste of what occupied Iraq feels and smells and tastes like for the war correspondents, soldiers and Iraqis dealing with the mess that is `free’ Iraq, The Freedom is essential reading" —San Diego Union-Tribune
"[Parenti] has an eye for the perfect image, a wonderful ear for dialogue and a prose style that floats across the page." —Las Vegas Mercury
"The Freedom, a short, fast-paced book, scenic like a good film script, is steeped in the irony and horror of war." —Los Angeles Times
