IRAQ: THE LOGIC OF WITHDRAWAL
BY ANTHONY ARNOVE
INTRODUCTION BY HOWARD ZINN
This is the case the U.S. public needs to have and understand urgently if for no other reason than to end the killing of innocent Iraqis and American kids in uniform.
-Denis Halliday, former UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Iraq
Three years after the start of the war in Iraq, violence and misery continue to plague the country, and conservatives and liberals alike are struggling with the question of when-and under what circumstances-U.S. and coalition forces should leave. In this cogent and compelling book, Anthony Arnove argues that the U.S. occupation is the major source of instability and suffering for the Iraqi people. He shows why continuing the occupation is both a wildly unrealistic and reckless strategy, one that is making the world a more dangerous place.
Nearly forty years ago, historian, activist, and bestselling author Howard Zinn-whose foreword and afterword frame Arnove’s book-published Vietnam: The Logic of Withdrawal, which argued with remarkable foresight that getting out of Vietnam was the only realistic option. IRAQ: THE LOGIC OF WITHDRAWAL will likely prove equally prescient.
