This updated edition examines the current drive to invade Iraq as part of George Bush's global "war on terrorism," even though no evidence exists that ties Iraq to the tragic events of September 11.

In this critically acclaimed col-lection, leading voices against the sanctions document the human, environmental, and social toll of the United States-led war against Iraq. Carefully documented, thoroughly researched, and written in clear language, Iraq Under Siege is invaluable for anyone wanting to understand the roots of US policy in Iraq and the Middle East.

"Here is a brilliantly collated body of unrelenting, undeniable evidence of the horrors that the U.S government sanctions are visiting upon the people, in particular the children, of Iraq."--Arundhati Roy, author of The God of Small Things
