The truth that Nivat constructs in The Wake of War is .
. . compelling. Nivat is perhaps best known for her reporting on
Chechnya, where she disguised herself as a Chechen woman to evade a
ban on journalists. Her new work is no less courageous.–Tom
Montgomery-Fate, Boston Globe
”The wars in which the United States has been engaged since 9/11
seem distant and almost unreal. This book provides us with vivid
firsthand voices of ordinary people from these two devastated
battlefields . . . A riveting and essential book for an
understanding of the true import of these faraway wars.” –Rashid
Khalidi, author of Resurrecting Empire
In the spring of 2003, acclaimed journalist Anne Nivat set off
from Tajikistan on a six-month journey through the aftermath of the
American invasion and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq. Nivat
felt compelled to meet and write about the lives of everyday
people, whom she allows to speak in their own voices, in their own
words–words of hope, sadness, anger, and, above all, the
uncertainty that fills their everyday lives. Her new Preface for
the paperback edition looks at the situation in Iraq today.
