Though the last of the US troops didn’t pull out until late in 2011, few areas of Iraq are free from violence, and the Sunni, Shia, and Kurdish people continue to vie for adequate representation in the new government. Readers are provided with a comprehensive look at the recent history of Iraq, beginning with the rise of Hussein. Throughout the text, readers experience the war through vivid photographs and through the correspondence of two young people: an Iraqi girl living in Baghdad and an American boy whose father is serving in the military. Readers will garner a better understanding of the complexities facing the still-rebuilding nation.

'Six years ago Tariq Aziz, then deputy PM of Iraq, invited me to visit the country to see the effect of sanctions. Having started to engage with the religious leaders of Iraq, I became the point of contact between the Coalition Provisional Authority and these leaders after the war. We then started the Centre for Dialogue Reconciliation and Peace, which is the foremost organisation in Iraq for engagement with religious and tribal leaders and the new Government. We work under the patronage of the Prime Minister, and we also have a strategic role in hostage negotiations. 'It is a roller coaster existence in the new Iraq. Ecstasy and despair are part of life. There again, is not salvation history a narrative of ecstasy and despair? Behind the scenes there are real people working day and night to try and ensure that this experiment of rebuilding a rogue nation works. For the people of Iraq, who knows how long it will really be before they see a difference?' Andrew is hugely commited to the people of Iraq and his writing has a powerful immediacy. His life has been in danger several times but he keeps going in the most adverse of circumstances. Not only does he relate to those at a high level, but he has befriended orphan children in Iraq and started up a Trust for their benefit.

COURAGE, HIGH ADVENTURE, AND A DEEP FAITH in God's goodness are all part of this story of an Iraqi Christian family's harrowing escape from death and destruction in their native country. Victimized by a conflict they didn't create, they risk everything for the possibility of peace and freedom. On foot with little food and water, they fight their way through the rugged mountains separating Northern Iraq from Turkey before being abandoned with thousands of others on the Turkish border. Never giving up, they use every means possible, including human traffickers, in an attempt to satisfy their thirst for freedom. A tribute to the enduring strength of the human spirit. In addition, Hope to the Last Breath offers an inside look at Iraqi family life rarely seen in the Western world.An Introduction in the author's own words: WE DIDN'T CHOOSE OR CAUSE the troubles that came to Northern Iraq. Our family wasn't involved in politics. We had no part in the dispute over autonomy that bred such animosity between the regime in Baghdad and the ethnic group that dominated our region. As is so often the case for refugees, we were caught up in a conflict between others. Our life had been simple and beautiful. But one morning that peaceful existence came to an end, and we were forced along with many others to take flight in order to save our lives.In 1991 the war between Iraq and Iran had been over for several years but we continued to suffer the consequences. We had not known peace for almost a decade and when the fighting ended the people were celebrating in the streets. But just when we believed that peace and tranquility were back, the conflict re-erupted, this time within Iraq as the central government sought to reestablish its control over the North.We live in a world where the plight of refugees is seen on a daily basis. But so often all we know is the end of the story. We see the refugees arrive at their destination, desperate for help, all their resources gone, hoping-even begging-for a chance to find freedom and peace. What we don't see as clearly is what went before-the conditions which drove them to take such chances with their lives. Are they escaping from oppression, the threat of death, grinding poverty, or all these things? Every story is different. Sometimes the stories are told in a short time span, other times they unfold over many years and require many attempts before a land promising freedom can be reached. Some refugees die trying to escape the intolerable, while others are so frightened by the bitterness of being strangers in a new land that they decide to stay put despite all they are suffering.My family's story has many chapters. We tried again and again to escape the brutality of our home country and secure for ourselves a life of peace and contentment. Our story is one of endurance, of physical bravery, of danger and death, of great suffering, and survival. Sometimes we had to be reckless with our health and safety. I hope none of you will ever face the trials we did, but if such times ever come to you, I want you to know that in the end it was all worth it. May God always be with you. Jwan Al Brwe.JWAN AL BRWE was born into a large Chaldean Christian family in Duhok, Northern Iraq. The Chaldeans are an ancient people of Iraq, dating back to Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonian Empire in Old Testament times. To this day, their native language is Aramaic, the language spoken by Christ, who still gives hope to her and her family.

"Deep inside many pacified, integration loving, defense-expenditure-cutting Europeans is the memory of what Europe once was and could become again: realpolitik, mechanized for war; and horrifically efficient at killing en masse." American Power: Still the Best Hope for Peace takes readers on a 100 year journey that explains how the United States has prevented major nations from going to war with each other for nearly 70 years. From Europe to the Middle East and most importantly, in East Aisa, American power has kept the peace. Unfortunately, through poor policy choices the United States will soon be unable to continue this role. Will the current generation of Americans shrug this responsibility or rise to meet the challenge?

From the distinguished educator, international crusader for humanitarian causes, and widow of the Nobel Peace Prize-winner President Anwar Sadat comes a foolproof plan for peace in the Middle East. In 1979, the Camp David Accords, brokered by Jimmy Carter between Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, culminated in the signing of the historic Israeli- Egyptian peace treaty, the first agreement in which an Arab country recognized Israel and an agreement that has held up to this day. Jehan Sadat was there, and on the thirtieth anniversary of this historic event, she brings us a polemic for peace like no other. My Hope for Peace answers a set of three challenges: challenges to Sadat's faith, challenges to the role women play in that faith, and, most of all, challenges to the idea that peace in the Middle East is an unattainable dream. In the heart of the book, Mrs. Sadat lays out not only the fundamental issues dividing the Middle East, but also a tried-and-true series of steps that will lead to their resolution. With a wit and charm developed over fifty years in the public eye, Mrs. Sadat draws on her personal experiences, from her career as first lady of Egypt to her further and yet greater commitments to peace in her widowhood, to explain plainly and frankly the historical, political, and religious underpinnings of the peace process, which many in the West have yet to understand. Along the way, she outlines the origins of modern Islamic terrorism, something she has confronted both politically and personally; she addresses the attendant misconceptions about her faith; and she debunks many of the myths of Muslim womanhood, not least by displaying the clear-eyed passion and political acumen that have earned her worldwide admiration.
