World Affairs Council Presents Checkpoints, Raids, Detentions, and Hearts and Minds—War’s Impact on Iraqi Civilians June 30, 2008

While the U.S. troop casualty count in Iraq has reached over 4,000, this number is but a small fraction representing the loss of life that Iraqi civilians have endured over the last five years. Best-selling author and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges offers his insight into the war’s impact on innocent Iraqi civilians and discusses his new book Collateral Damage containing interviews along side of journalist Laila al-Arian from over fifty returning Iraqi war veterans.
