No Customer Reviews
Today, six years after the firebombing of Iraq, some 20% of the Pentagon's total budget is still dedicated to the military occupation of the Gulf region. US warplanes may no longer strafe unsuspecting civilians, but another form of weaponry still ravages the land: economic sanctions.In this volume chilling eye-witness accounts, documentary data, and pleas from world leaders diverse as a British MR the President of Algeria, and a former US Attorney General combine to call our attention to a genocidal policy that has taken the lives of over 500,000 Iraqi children in recent years, and threatens the future of millions more.Twenty-five years ago the images of Vietnam burned into the hearts of a whole generation. Today, in another country, the weapon of choice is not napalm but silent starvation. The children are dying, this book tells us. Do we care?
