The Occupation
Patrick Cockburn
Patrick Cockburn, The Independents’ correspondent in the Middle East, focuses on another Middle Eastern region on fire: Iraq. Having worked in the country since 1978, Mr Cockburn shares with us his experiences and his vision of events in his book: The Occupation.
Although we are not dealing with a highly scientific work, it nevertheless remains a well documented and lively account of the situation in Iraq, since the American invasion. His numerous anecdotes tell us of the situation’s absurdities and horrors and also offer us an insight on the state of the press, the value of the news coverage by the media, and on a journalist’s work in the country.
