"Presented in ... diary form, this substantial volume draws together a careful selection
of Cockburn's writings from the frontlines of the conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq,
Libya and Syria, interspersed with thoughtful analyses and contemporary, original
reflection. What emerges is the fine grain and nuance of an unfolding tragedy in which,
in contrast to the often facile proclamations of politicians and much of the media:
"These are not black-and-white situations, good guys against bad, vile tyrant against
a risen people like a scene out of Les Miserables. It is astonishing and depressing
to see Western governments committing their countries to wars without recognizing
this basic fact." The conflicts being fueled by such misunderstandings are today spilling
over to cities in the West, provoking a backlash that learns little from recent history
and is likely only to make things worse.--Publisher
