The battle for Iraq is the most misunderstood struggle of our times. Very few observers are able to travel ourside the American controlled Green Zone, let alone meet members of the resistance. Internationally renowed Arab Journalist Zaki Chehab, however, is different. Having grown up in a refugee camp in Lebanon, he knows how to talk the language of people who consider themselves under foreign occupation. Reading the graffiti on what the locals call RPG-7 Alley in Tikrit, sitting down with the leaders of the most secret islamic militias operating out of Kurdistan and breaking out after curfew to traipse across tomato fields with idealistic young fighters in Ramadi, Chehab reveals the very different characters, motivations and strategies of the groups which make up the insrgency. Iraq Ablaze is the book that everyone who wants to understand iraq today, and where it is heading, has been waiting for.
