Time magazine listed him as one of its "100 People Who Shape Our World." Newsweek featured him on its cover under the headline "How Al-Sadr May Control U.S. Fate in Iraq." Paul Bremer denounced him as a "Bolshevik Islamist" and ordered that he be captured "dead or alive." Who is Muqtada al-Sadr, and why is he so vital to the future of Iraq and, arguably, the entire Middle East? In this compellingly readable account, prize-winning journalist Patrick Cockburn tells the story of Muqtada's rise to become the leader of Iraq's poor Shi'ites and the resistance to the occupation. Cockburn looks at the killings by Saddam's executioners and hit men of the young cleric's father, two brothers, and father-in-law; his leadership of the seventy-thousand-strong Mehdi Army; the fierce rivalries between him and other Shia religious leaders; his complex relationship with the Iraqi government; and his frequent confrontations with the American military, including battles that took place in Najaf in 2004. The portrait that emerges is of a complex man and a sophisticated politician, who engages with religious and nationalist aspirations in a manner unlike any other Iraqi leader. Cockburn, who was among the very few Western journalists to remain in Baghdad during the Gulf War and has been an intrepid reporter of Iraq ever since, draws on his extensive firsthand experience in the country to produce a book that is richly interwoven with the voices of Iraqis themselves. His personal encounters with the Mehdi Army include a tense occasion when he was nearly killed at a roadblock outside the city of Kufa. Though it often reads like an adventure story, Muqtada is also a work of painstaking research and measured analysis that leads to a deeper understanding both of one of the most critical conflicts in the world today and of the man who may well be a decisive voice in determining the future of Iraq when the Americans eventually leave.

In late 2003, five Military Intelligence Soldiers were tasked to track the radical firebrand Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. These Army Reservists followed his moves through the streets and back alleys of Kufa and Najaf, they reported the activities of and the growing influence of his Mahdi Army as they slowly but deliberately encroached on the local governments for control of the prized Imam Ali shrine, and the millions of dollars worth of gold and currency that laid therein. Lieutenant General Ricardo S. Sanchez personally followed the progress of this small group of Soldiers, looking for clues of Sadrs intentions and how it would affect the Coalition and the rest of Iraq. For the next six months, debates raged from the Green Zone to the corridors of the Pentagon, and even to the Oval Office of the White House: what should be done with Muqtada al-Sadr? Now for the first time, the ground truth is revealed about how America let Iraqs most dangerous man raise an army, fight the Coalitiontwiceand then slip through their fingers to escape to Iran, where he is being groomed to become Iraqs next Ayatollah and awaits the time to return and claim Iraq for Iran.

Patrick Cockburn is an important and well-informed journalist, with a keen interest in events in Iraq since 1980. His book "Muqtada al-Sadr and the Fall of Iraq" is crucial for understanding the recent political equations governing Iraq, after the US invasion of 2003.He has been able to diagnose the implications for Iraq's future, of the newly popular force. Cockburn documented the socio-political conditions and day-to-day events on the ground in Iraq for about 30 years, which have given rise to the young cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, and his entry into the global limelight. The author's understanding is that Cockburn has succeeded in documenting events with a highly professional and solid craftsmanship, away from the ideological backgrounds of Muqtada al-Sadr. So, if you're looking for a thematic biography of the rebel al-Sadr, then you'll be disappointed, since the understanding of Muqtada's personality, intentions as well as documentation of the man's rapid learning curve and steadily sharpened political nature from the beginnings of the occupation, aren't substantively addressed in his book. So, some readers could find themselves disappointed, because they may find that although events are documented professionally, but it is done without the intellectual and ideological background to explain the reasons for these events. One can't really blame Cockburn, because of the difficulty of direct contact with Muqtada himself, during those years, and the lack of access to the primary source material on his principles, his personal opinions and sentiments.The book contains a vision very close to muqtada al-sadr's. The author has worked with him, observed the iraqi events since 1970, understood the intellectual and ideological background, explained the reason of these events, and tried to link the movement of muqtada al-sadr on the one hand with the activity of che guevara. Guevara is known to the reader through the EU and the US as expressing the modern leftist line, which faced imperialism and injustice, and sacrificed for humanity and freedom. Further, the author tries to explain the religious behavior of Muqtada al-Sadr according to Christian concepts, as understood by readers in Europe and America.

Muqtada al-Sadr has used strange and weird strategies in the war against America since 2003. So that he could make a shift at the level of the American mood and decision, in the administration and the army and even in the American people themselves. Until the imposition of the withdrawal from Iraq in 2011, as demanded. Kokburn, Harold North, Duck Camp, and many others have written about the US war in Iraq and Muqtada al-Sadr. But what distinguishes this book are those hidden issues and strange details, on the other side of the battle, which was abandoned by the global media and the Western journalists, and presented by this author throughout his pages. As an Iraqi, and working with Muqtada al-Sadr, close to the arena of events and its scenes. He has actually met Muqtada al-Sadr, having a close sight on his words and actions closely and accurately, so you will find details and things that the American and European authors could not discover.I tried to making this book to pleasing to the intellectual and academic readers, especially readers of the author Kokburn. In addition to that of the ordinary reader, because the events of Iraq and the character of Moqtada al-Sadr are exactly what the media is currently discussing, now and for years to come. In addition, the interest of the research centers, universities and official libraries and political science students in Iraqi events and the Sadrist movement is attributed to its political importance in Iraqi reality.

Muqtada al-Sadr's men are killing more British troops than any other group in the world today. Cleric, militia leader and fiercely anti-American politician, Muqtada's combination of nationalism and religious fervour appealed to countless angry and impoverished Shias, and as US control of Iraq disintegrates, the likelihood increases that he will assume total power in the Shia areas of the country. In a compelling narrative, award winning war correspondent Patrick Cockburn charts Muqtada's rise to power, his links with Hizbullah and the Iranians; and his confrontation with the American and British military. Cockburn has reported from Iraq since the 1970s (often at great personal risk), and combines first hand accounts of his investigations into Muqtada with vivid and dismaying reportage of the civil war now raging in a fractured country.
