As a freelance journalist, she exposes the mainstream press's failure to cover the embargo and offers insights into the embargo history. As a social anthropologist, Aziz examines every aspect of Iraqi culture that was systematically attacked and destroyed by both the embargo and the invasion. And as an Arab, she understands the extraordinary will of the Iraqi people and their deep-seated love for their country."--BOOK JACKET.
