City of Widows: An Iraqi Woman's Account of War and Resistance

Iraqi journalist and activist Haifa Zangana writes boldly about the current conditions of her homeland. The first account about occupied Iraq by an Iraqi woman, CITY OF WIDOWS provides a poignant and thorough outline to understanding the nation's intricate ethnic and political situation. Zangana's strongest arguments are those against the neo-colonial, Western "feminist" NGOs who have accompanied the US-led occupation. Groundbreaking, innovative and truthful, this book is not to be missed.

City of Widows should be read by anyone interested in the truth of the devastating events that have occurred in Iraq. It is the only account of it's kind that shares with the public how Iraqi's are being treated by the American government, and what has occurred in the country as a result. Namely, that a country of liberated women are now struggling to survive. This is a book about a women's life as it reflects all of the women in Iraq.
