"In February 2003, Patrick Cockburn travelled secretly to Iraq just before the invasion, and has covered the war ever since. In this devastating, courageous and highly acclaimed book, he describes the collapse of Saddam's army and the looting of Baghdad, the springs of resistance and how it turned into a full-scale uprising, and the country's descent into civil war. In ths new fully updated edition, Cockburn explores the impact of the "surge" of US forces into Baghdad, and the occupation's continuing destabilization of Iraq and the wider Middle East." --cover
