Productbeschrijving

In 2004, the United States waged one of the bloodiest battles of the Iraq war in the city of Fallujah, west of Baghdad. For many the city was a symbol of resistance to the US war and occupation; since the battle it has become a symbol of the worst of the US - Iraq war. Only one television station - Al Jazeera - stayed in Fallujah to report on the battle, and the horrifying and heartbreaking images seen worldwide came from reporter Ahmed Mansour and cameraman Laith Mushtaq. The images so outraged the world that the US military made Mansour's leaving Fallujah the first condition for a ceasefire. Donald Rumsfeld called his reporting 'vicious and inaccurate', and argued that they were propagandists: 'What they do is when a bomb goes down, they grab some children and some women and pretend that the bomb hit the women and children'. Here, for the first time in English, is the renowned reporter's own view of what happened inside Fallujah. It is the untold story of a defining battle that determined the future of the US occupation of Iraq; the story of a city that shattered US designs not only for Iraq but the region as a whole. 'Al-Jazeera has a track record of honest and accurate reporting, and has maintained a principled pluralism in the face of brutal and authoritarian regimes within the region, and increasingly from those without. This is why it has been vilified, criminalised and bombed. It is also why it should be defended...' Arthur Neslen, The Guardian
