Review
THE FALL OF BAGHDAD demonstrates -- like Anderson's incisive books on the war in Afghanistan, contemporary guerrilla movements and Che Guevara -- his knack for interviews, observations and finely crafted, powerful narratives. The great value of this book is that Anderson takes us beyond sound bites or official statements to hear the authentic voices of thoughtful, educated Iraqi civilians in interviews and vignettes that capture the chaos of wartime and its aftermath . . . The haunting intenstisy of Anderson's vibrant account of his experiences is reminiscent of the best war literature . . . indispensable for understanding what is going on inside Iraqi society today (WASHINGTON POST)
Mr Anderson continues his brave reporting for THE NEW YORKER . . . In this measured, keenly descriptive account, hindsight gives way to horror as the early rumblings of war become reality and the city of Baghdad is changed beyond recognition . . . THE FA (NEW YORK TIMES)
A searing portrait of a people and a city under fire . . . Anderson is a fine reporter who writes like a dream (EVENING STANDARD)
[Anderson's] articles in the NEW YORKER are often admired by other journalists for their easy flow, colour and interviews, and he has successfully translated this into book form . . . but he also writes movingly about the general population and suffering (GUARDIAN)
Book Description
A masterpiece of literary reportage about the experience of ordinary Iraqis living through the endgame of the Hussein regime, its violent fall, and the troubled occupation
