What I Heard About Iraq
By
Eliot Weinberger
The Iraq war has unleashed such a torrent of opinion - impassioned polemic, neo-con apologia, world-weary cynicism - that it feels like the simple, important truths are being lost in a media feeding frenzy. Eliot Weinberger however rejects the rhetoric of the soapbox.
In an extraordinary montage of facts, sound-bites and testimonies, he assembles an uncompromising and blackly comic narrative which permits the voices of the war to speak for themselves, and allows the protagonists and the apologists to damn themselves in their own words.
This pocket-sized volume is vast in scope, a work unlike any other you have read on Iraq, and one that finds an unexpected eloquence in its refusal to join in the facile band-standing and selective amnesia of so much contemporary commentary.
