"It's so human. I loved the poems, the images, the anecdotes. They're
heartbreaking. You want to hug these people. They will survive, and they
will rebuild. We have to believe in that."
Etel Adnan: poet, essayist, artist. -
"Barbara Nimri Aziz has written a must-read book which puts a human face on an Iraqi people dehumanized by simplistic, misleading and inaccurate media accounts before, during and after America's illegitimate invasion and occupation of their homeland."
Scott Ritter, chief United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq (1991-1998) - Purchase this book from Amazon.com
