Overview

"This book represents detailed accounts and facts witnessed by myself since the beginning of the foreign occupation war crimes that occurred in Fallujah, Iraq. It includes actual witness accounts of the war and the evidence of major war crimes that occurred during the Fallujah's occupation. It was not easy writing about these events. The pressure of terror and horror that we lived under during the occupation was insurmountable, especially with the accompanying human rights violations, daily crimes and assassinations. There were the defenders and journalists who documented and exposed these violations. Our mission, at first, as defenders of human rights, was limited to documenting the war, with evidence of violations, and sending it to international organizations like the United Nations, as well as the world press. The accountability of the perpetrators may have been a fantasy at that time, but at least the documentation will preserve the rights of the people, since there is no statute of limitations for these crimes. For this, I publish all these accounts to expose the cover-up and inform the international community of the lack of confidence in the higher institutions of the UN. This book contains a lot of evidence supported through three different sources, the United Nations, non-governmental organizations and government documents issued by those governments. It makes use of audio-visual media, as well as formal confessions. All of these documented evidences, as well to my personal testimony are events that took place during that period. I like to recall the wise words of the bold Italian journalist Sigfrido Ranucci, producer of the Italian film documentary: Fallujah: the Hidden Massacre. When asked by Al-Jazeera whether he intended his film to charge American's use of prohibited weapons in spite of Italy being an American ally, he responded, ""The intent is not to accuse the Americans, but if we are talking about democracy, we must seek the truth and honesty in a scientific manner""."
