Reviews

More than merely an oral or documentary history of the war, this title could well serve as a textbook for senior high school and undergraduate history courses. . . . Voices of the Iraq War does a commendable job in presenting that conflict from multiple perspectives, from the president of the United States to the soldiers doing the fighting and Iraqi citizens who were forced to watch their nation being torn asunder. Throughout, the text is both readable and informative. - ARBA
