  Amazon.com: The Occupation: War and Resistance in Iraq: Books: Patrick Cockburn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Patrick Cockburn was deeply familiar with Iraq for twenty-five years before the US invasion and occupation, and his coverage of the first three years of the war is perhaps the most informed and passionate reporting to come out of Iraq.
Cockburn details the brutalities of the occupation, the imperial arrogance, the use of mercenaries, the deepening religious divisions, the vile sectarian killings, the lawlessness and insecurity, the rampant corruption and the economic chaos (oil, electricity, water and sewerage are all still worse than they were pre-war).
Patrick Cockburn's new book The Occupation: War and Resistance in Iraq traces the course of the U.S. war on Iraq, from the prewar lies to justify invasion to the spiraling violence and chaos that has pushed the country to the brink of civil war.

It should be clear that, although Cockburn’s main philosophical works were written in defence of either Locke or Samuel Clarke, and although she tends to make the best case for those whom she champions, she did not lack an independent philosophical outlook.
