In 'Travels in American Iraq', John Martinkus - one of our most intrepid foreign journalists - provides a riveting portrait of a city and country on the brink of civil war.
This book differs from other reports from Iraq: it is more immediate, more intimate, more sceptical. Martinkus evokes everyday life in Baghdad and the events that take place beyond the official perspective.
Tracing the ever-widening gap between rhetoric and reality, he shows that, amidst a developing guerrilla war and a chaotic reconstruction, the line between liberation and occupation has become thin indeed. This is a rare insight into the realities of liberation and the limits of US power.
