Review

Thejustification for the invasion of Iraq was that Saddam Husseinpossessed a highly dangerous body of weapons of mass destruction, someof which could be fired in 45 minutes, bringing about appallingdevastation. We were assured that was true. It was not true. We weretold that Iraq had a relationship with Al Qaeda and sharedresponsibility for the atrocity in New York of September 11, 2001. Wewere assured that this was true. It was not true. We were told thatIraq threatened the security of the world. We were assured it was true.It was not true. --Harold Pinter

Product Description

At a time when the US and UK are contemplating further imperial adventures in Iran, "Not One More Death" lays bare the act of blatant state terrorism that is the invasion and occupation of Iraq, and reveals the extraordinary tapestry of lies, distortions and gross media manipulation that underpin it. Here, prominent artists, musicians, playwrights, scientists and writers look at the reality behind the rhetoric: how public opinion is wilfully ignored and "democracy" used as a figleaf for the furthering of colonial ambitions in the Middle East. "Not One More Death" calls on the US and UK to withdraw troops from Iraq now, and for Bush and Blair to be brought to account for this illegal war.

5.0 out of 5 stars What the world thinks of America, and the Bush/Blair Project, Mar 11 2007

By Edward McIntyre - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Not One More Death (Paperback)

(Translating from Scottish dialect) the poet, Robert Burns wrote, 'Would some power had the gift to give us, to see ourselves as others see us.'
This small book unsparingly tells Americans what the rest of the world thinks of us, particularly after our invasion of Iraq. I have just returned from Europe. The disgust for us is palpable. Further, after 9/11 the world felt our pain, and there was international consensus to help us track down the ones who were responsible for that attack, to join us in the war against terror. Harold Pinter's Nobel Prize acceptance speech . . . I try to picture the faces of that distinguished audience as they heard it delivered.

1.0 out of 5 stars excessive hyperbole, Jan 9 2007

By Ronald M. Michail - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Not One More Death (Paperback)

This minor and slender volume proved to be a great disappointment. It is a collection of editorial screeds that lay all of the world's problems at the feet of America, excusing everyone else. Much of the content revolves around the various authors' hatred of George Bush. Their hatred is well founded but poorly expressed. Too many of the writers appear to be self-absorbed with their own assessed abundance of moral rectitude. Whatever flaws they may ascribe to the USA and George Bush collectively is weakened by their own bloated wordiness and frequent incoherence. Le Carre comes off as the best in an otherwise dulling book. What this book did provide me was a sense of the intellectual shallowness of most of the authors. Do not take this as an endorsement of Bush- one of our greatest national disgraces. Alas, reading this volume only enhances his stature. Professional caterwalling does not make for a glorious career.
