The Iraq War (2003–2011) was the most significant conflict in the
early 21st century. This book examines the ongoing importance of
this war for the Middle East and the world today through
first-person accounts of the war and primary source documents.
Voices of the Iraq War: Contemporary Accounts of Daily Life
illuminates the complex and poorly reported realities of the
conflict that those without direct experience cannot possibly
fathom, presenting detailed personal accounts of what the conflict
in Iraq was like across multiple disciplines and through a variety
of viewpoints. The accounts are based on interviews with American,
Iraqi-American, and British officers who deployed and fought
throughout the country of Iraq. The book begins with the story of
an Iraqi boy who flees Iraq with his family after Desert Storm and
then returns to Iraq as a translator to assist U.S. forces nearly
16 years later. The book is filled with personal accounts of combat
and training as well as other real-world experiences that define
what the Iraq War meant to thousands of U.S. and allied service
members. These personal accounts are supported with national level
policy speeches and official statements that help readers put the
individual stories and events in national, regional, and global
perspective. The book concludes by examining the impact of this war
on thousands of young men and women that will last for decades to
come.
