Like Tariq Ali’s previous work, The Clash of Fundamentalisms, this book presents a magnificent cultural and political history of Iraqi resistance against empires old and new. Ali’s substantial new Postscript, ‘Blood Meridian: Year One of the Occupation’, authoritatively dismantles the lies of favourite house Arabs such as Found Ajami, shatters masks of UN compliance with the occupation, andshines bright light both on the Anglo-American attempts to privatize Iraq, and the speed, character and endurance of the latest level of resistance. The author has written a fresh Introduction for the Indian edition.
