Liberating Iraq is the story of the Iraqi war based on the author's own personal insights as an Assyrian Christian over a period of several years. Amir George, the author, drew his insights from meetings with the Iraqi Prime Minister, President, Vice President, Foreign Minister, top US and international officials, and the Iraqi people themselves. George reveals what happened to the weapons of mass destruction and tells of the horrors experienced by those who worked for the Iraqi government and who lived under the brutal Saddam Hussein regime. Liberating Iraq describes the days leading up to the war, the first relief convoy to cross the border into Iraq following the war, and the tremendous success fo the nearly 400,000 Americans who fanned out across Iraq and saved the nation, although, today, the country is on the verge of seeing that success lost. George, moreover, chronicles the story of the Assyrian Christian community whose suffering and hardships are the result of the Iraq War. He shows that the plight of the Assyrians is arguably the greatest tragedy of the Iraq war, as well as a terrible omen for the Middle East's future. The message -- the Assyrians still struggle and suffer in today's Iraq. So the world must turn its eyes to and raise its voice for the protection of this, the world's oldest continuing Christian community. -- Publisher's description.
