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 susbtantial new Postscript, 'Blood Meridian: Year One of the
Occupation', authoritatively dismantles the lies of favourite house Arabs such
as Fouad Ajami, shatters masks of UN compliance with the occupation, and shines
bright light both on the Anglo-American attempts to privatise Iraq, and the
speed, character and endurance of the latest level of resistance.
