M,
As I have no financial connection with the book, I feel free to promote it shamelessly.
The book is "Iraq Under Siege : The Deadly Impact of Sanctions and War", edited by Anthony Arnove. It's available through Amazon.com and will ship within 24-hours. The Economist gave it an excellent review, which Rania Masri previously posted <http://www.ex-parrot.com/casi/discuss/2000/374.html> (she co-authored a chapter).
I've just ordered two copies, myself. A full description can be found here <http://www.lbbs.org/sep/iraq.htm>, as can the Table of Contents:

Subject: IRAQ BOOK
Somebody recently posted a message to this discussion list about a new
book on Iraq published by new press. I would be grateful if someone
could post me with the details of it once again as I unfortunately have
lost the original message.
Thanks
M
