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 Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. London. Little Brown. 2005. First UK edition. Published previous year by Penguin in US. Hard Cover. Black cloth boards with silver titles. Maps in front matter. Both book and unclipped dust wrapper are new. The classic book about the Iraq War. No subject has become more hotly politicized than the toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime, and so a thick fog of propaganda has obscured the reality of what the Iraqi people have endured and are enduring, under Saddam Hussein and now. Jon Lee Anderson has created an astonishing portrait of humanity in extremis, a work of great wisdom, human empathy, and moral clarity. In channelling a tragedy of epic dimensions through the stories of real people caught up in the whirlwind of history, Seller Inventory # DEC15002
