Synopsis
Tells the story of a group of Iraqi individuals who have been the victims of cruelty, linking this to a critical analysis of Arab culture's response to Saddam and the Gulf War. In the author's exploration, he exposes the new nationalist mythologies that underpin them, and calls for new politics in the Arab world - one that puts absolute respect for human rights and resistance to cruelty at its centre. By the author of "Republic of Fear" and "The Monument".
