PRAISE FOR BEYOND THE GREEN ZONE

"Every conflict spawns a handful of journalists who are willing to 
not only brave the war zone but to seek out the stories ignored by 
the press pack. The Iraq War has brought us Dahr Jamail. Jamail's 
account will prove an enduring document of what really happened 
during the chaotic years of occupation, and how it transformed 
ordinary Iraqis. If years from now, Americans are willing to read any 
books about the war, this one should be among them. It tells 
everything."
-Mother Jones magazine

"From the earliest days of the war, Dahr Jamail has been a human 
conduit for the voices of Iraqis living under U.S. occupation. In the 
face of tremendous personal risk, his commitment to the crucial, 
principled task of bearing witness has never wavered, and this 
extraordinary book is the result."
-Naomi Klein, author, No Logo and The Shock Doctrine


"While the powerful media conglomerates embedded on the ground with 
the invading and occupying forces, Jamail embedded with the suffering 
people of Iraq and uncovered the horrors of this war of 'liberation.' 
Dahr Jamail is the conscience of American war reporting, the 
quintessential unembedded reporter."
-Jeremy Scahill, New York Times best-selling author of Blackwater: 
The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army
