Best-selling author and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris
Hedges and journalist Laila Al-Arian spent the past year
interviewing over fifty veterans to expose the patterns of the
occupation in Iraq. The testimonies of these soldiers--many of who
remain deeply traumatized by their experiences--uncover how the
very conduct of the war and occupation have turned the American
forces into agents of terror for most Iraqis.
"Collateral Damage" is organized around key military
operations--Convoys, Checkpoints, Detentions, Raids, Suppressive
Fire, and "Hearts and Minds." Military convoys traveling at
tremendous speeds through towns have become trains of death.
Civilians are routinely run over or shot to death. Soldiers fire
upon Iraqi vehicles with impunity at checkpoints. Late-night
detentions based on shoddy intelligence terrify women, traumatize
children, and radicalize the young men caught in their dragnet.
These soldiers have found the moral courage to speak out about
the true nature of a war that has become one long, unchecked
atrocity, and has given rise to the instability, sectarian violence
and chaos that we witness today in Iraq.
