Book Description
A definitive reference work for activists and citizens interested in taking part in the worldwide effort to speak out against the war in Iraq and against the abuse of power. "In February 2003-weeks before an illegal war was initiated against Iraq-millions of people protested in the streets of the world. That call went unheeded... Iraq has been invaded, occupied, and devastated. The attack on Iraq is an attack on justice, on liberty, on our safety, on our future, on us all. We, people of conscience, decided to stand up. We formed the World Tribunal on Iraq (WTI) to demand justice and a peaceful future. The principal object of the WTI is to tell and disseminate the truth about the Iraq War..."

-from the Declaration of the Jury of Conscience This book is that testimony, expertly introduced by activist MŸge GŸrsoy Sškmen, Booker Prize winner and peace activist Arundhati Roy, and the noted human rights scholar Richard Falk. As Roy notes in her introduction, this is an attempt to "correct the record-to document the history of the war not from the point of view of the victors but of the temporarily-and I repeat the word "temporarily"-vanquished." Every aspect of the war is examined-from its legality, to the effects of cluster bombs and depleted uranium, to its ecological impact, to the history of US and British military interventions of Iraq, to the role of international institutions and corporations in the occupation, to the use of torture, and to strategies of resistance.
