Voices from the war
And the war in Iraq, it continued mercilessly. What happens in Iraq determines our time. Rudi Vranckx has followed the Iraqi drama closely from the beginning of hostilities. He did so as a war journalist, but also as a human being. And so he came into contact with dozens of Iraqis who did not choose the misery, but who are hit hardest by it. Vranckx has written a book about them.
Vranckx shows the true face of war: a malignant disease, an idiocy, a prison. Five years in Iraq have changed a lot for Rudi Vranckx too. Before, he could understand the madness of the war, but today that madness has become part of his personal history. Almost everyone he knew in Iraq is now dead, in hiding or fled. In Voices from the War he lets Jassim, Ibrahim, Ahmed, Ziyad and many others have their say.
Voices from the war grabs you by the throat. This is the third and most personal book by Rudi Vranckx, one of the most renowned war journalists in our language area.
