Recenzje

"This is a necessary book, the best I've read about Iraq." --David Lipsky, The New York Times Book Review

"Revelatory . . . Anderson shows how a well-wrought word-picture is aworth a thousand hours of CNN." --The Village Voice

"Indispensable for understanding what is going on inside Iraqi society today." --The Washington Post

"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 New York Times
