New Book on the Iraq War

Second Chance Publishing is pleased to announce the June 30, 2008 publication of The Iraq War Blog, An Iraqi Family's Inside View of the First Year of the Occupation, by Faiza Al-Araji, Raed Jarrar, and Khalid Jarrar.

The Iraq War Blog explores, through their words, the lives of three members of an Iraqi family who lived in Baghdad as the American military and coalition allies devastated the city. They persevered through night attacks and daytime missile strikes that oftentimes wreaked destruction to their home by blowing doors off hinges and breaking windows. The Jarrar family, while chronicling their daily lives amid the destruction, also provide descriptive analyses of the political climate that resulted from the American occupation of the country.

The book is now available on Amazon.

Regards,

Michael DeFilippo

Praise for The Iraq War Blog

"Raed and Khalid Jarrar, and their mother Faiza al-Araji, offer powerful, heart-wrenching and eloquent testimony about the inhumanity of a misguided war and the futility of occupation."

- Amy Goodman (host of Democracy Now!) and David Goodman, co-authors, Standing Up to the Madness

"The Iraq War Blog depicts life in the trenches for those Iraqis who have survived the occupation. The Jarrar family is a testament to the strength and conviction of all Iraqis who see through the smoke and mirrors of the Bush administration; they are not fooled, they are empowered."

- Cindy Sheehan, Gold Star Mom and Human Rights Activist

"...reading [the Jarrar family's] daily thoughts as the days of the invasion and occupation passed, we as westerners can glimpse the source of the bitterness that the Iraqis taste."

- Steve Connors and Molly Bingham, Directors, Meeting Resistance
