Review
'THE FALL OF BAGHDAD demonstrates -- like Anderson's incisive books on the war in Afghanistan, contemporary guerrilla movements and Che Guevara -- his knack for interviews, observations and finely crafted, powerful narratives. The great value of this book is that Anderson takes us beyond sound bites or official statements to hear the authentic voices of thoughtful, educated Iraqi civilians in interviews and vignettes that capture the chaos of wartime and its aftermath ... The haunting intenstisy of Anderson's vibrant account of his experiences is reminiscent of the best war literature ... indispensable for understanding what is going on inside Iraqi society today' WASHINGTON POST
