![]() Red Flags: Memoir of an Iraqi Conscript Trapped Between Enemy Lines in the 2003 Invasion of Iraq $35.00 "I was a prisoner before the war; I am no freer now after the war." This memoir of an Iraqi soldier writing under a pseudonym uses "red flags" as a metaphor for military targets during his country's invasion by the United States in 2003. He recounts his involvement in Saddam Hussein's army and the government's Baathist principles, which he followed under threat of execution, and says danger came as much from the suspicious Iraqi government as from American invaders. Even the fall of Baghdad and the Hussein government has not led to a better life for his people, whom he says are still divided by war. ![]() Charlie Rose with Jon Lee Anderson; John Keegan (November 4, 2003) $24.95 Jon Lee Anderson of The New Yorker magazine shares his impressions of what has unfolded in Baghdad.

Unsurprisingly, the media at the time failed to report pertinent points regarding the 2005/2006 Dujail incident. The image presented by the media was one of a cortroom out of control, but the real story was about the attempts by defense attorneys (like the Anti-American Ramsey Clark) to question the legitimacy of the court, rather than face the charges. As the authors point out in this book, The process that led to the creation of the high court was a reasoned one and everything was done to make it as fair for Saddam as possible, despite the near-universal hatred for him in Iraq. If you really want to know about the trial of Saddam Hussein and to understand the authority and the law which condemned him. Parts of it are not easy to follow if you aren't a law student but the information is there for you to go through. |
