“Reminiscent of the best war literature, such as John Hersey’s Hiroshima, Michael Herr’s Dispatches, and Michael Kelly’s Martyr’s Day.” –The Washington PostThe Fall of Baghdad is a masterpiece of literary reportage about the experience of ordinary Iraqis living through the endgame of the Saddam Hussein regime, its violent fall, and the troubled American occupation. In channeling a tragedy of epic dimensions through the stories of real people caught up in the whirlwind of history, Jon Lee Anderson has written a book of timeless significance.

"This is a necessary book, the best I've read about Iraq." –David Lipsky, The New York Times Book Review"Revelatory . . . Anderson shows how a well-wrought word-picture is aworth a thousand hours of CNN." –The Village Voice"Indispensable for understanding what is going on inside Iraqi society today." –The Washington Post"In this measured, keenly descriptive account, hindsight gives way to horror as the early rumblings of war become reality and the city of Baghdad is changed beyond recognition." –The New York Times
