Comments on WAR PLAN IRAQ:
'This is the clearest and most persuasive explanation of the reasons
not to go to war with Iraq that anyone could wish for. Written with
great clarity and precision, WAR PLAN IRAQ exposes the
extraordinary hypocrisy and double-dealing which characterises the
US march to war.'
George Monbiot,
author of Captive State: The Corporate Takeover of Britain
'WAR PLAN IRAQ comes from an author on whose accuracy and
research we have come to rely. The projected war is not inevitable.
War Plan Iraq will help to prevent it.'
Bruce Kent,
Vice President of Pax Christi
'Most Iraqis, whether inside Iraq or in exile feel that the war on Iraq
is immoral and illegal. WAR PLAN IRAQ proves that opposing the
war does not mean supporting Saddam's regime. Opposing the war
means supporting the Iraqi people.
'Impressive documentation, clear analysis and convincing
arguments against the US-led war on the Iraqi people: Milan Rai
addresses issues facing Iraqis in relation to the drive for war with rare
insight into Iraqi society. Crucially, he also covers the link between the
war on Iraq and the Nekba in Palestine, the fate of the Kurdish
people, and relations with Turkey, Iran and the Arab world.'
Haifa Zangana, Iraqi writer in exile and member of
Act Together: Women against sanctions and war on Iraq
'It is vitally important to get across to the British people that Trident is
being aimed at what appears to be a non-nuclear country, and that
there are nonviolent ways of dealing with Iraq's suspected weapons of
mass destruction. WAR PLAN IRAQ is a valuable contribution to
these efforts.'
Carol Naughton,
Chair of CND
'This excellent book reveals the extent of the injustices perpetrated
against the Iraqi people.'
Alice Mahon MP
'This book is an excellent weapon for all those opposed to Bush's war.
Compulsory reading for every cenre-left politician.'
Tariq Ali
'A remarkably thorough account, and required reading for anyone
concerned about the risk of war.'
Paul Rogers,
Professor of Peace Studies, Bradford University
'A timely and important book.'
Hilary Wainwright,
Red Pepper
