"Like nothing we've seen yet in the writing on the war-the stories of everyday survival weave a tapestry both illuminating and haunting. No serious study of the invasion and occupation can do without this book." - Quil Lawrence, former NPR Baghdad Bureau chief and author of Invisible Nation

"An eloquent, well-selected narrative of the Iraqi invasion and devastating aftermath." - Kirkus Reviews
"A moving account of the impact of war and occupation on ordinary people." - Glenn C. Altschuler, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Featuring the testimony of close to seventy Iraqis from all walks of life, Voices from Iraq builds a riveting chronological history unmatched for its insight and revelations. Here is a history of the war in Iraq as told entirely by Iraqis living through the U.S. invasion and occupation.
Beginning in 2003, this intimate narrative includes the experiential accounts of civilians, politicians, former dissidents, insurgents, and militiamen. Iraqis offering firsthand stories range from onetime Prime Minister Ayad Allawi to resistance fighters speaking on the condition of anonymity. Divided into five parts, these interviews recount the 2003 invasion; Iraq's gradual slide into chaos from 2004 to 2005; the start of a new order in 2006; the rise of open sectarian violence over the next two years; and the effort since 2008 to reconstruct a society from relative calm. Not since Studs Terkel's The Good War has a book captured so acutely the human consequences of a conflict we are still struggling to understand. Voices from Iraq makes utterly vivid the meaning and legacy of America's campaign in Iraq.
