Laila Al-Arian

Laila Al-Arian is a freelance journalist and co-author, with Chris Hedges, of Collateral Damage: America\'s War Against Iraqi Civilians (Nation Books, 2008). She has written for The Nation, USA Today, United Press International, The Huffington Post, and The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. Laila has also tirelessly fought for the freedom of her father, Dr. Sami Al-Arian (www.freesamialarian.com), a victim of Bush\'s U.S.A. Patriot Act and so called \"War on Terror.\"

\"Based on hundreds of hours of interviews with veterans of the Iraq war and occupation, [Collateral Damage] lays out graphically indeed and in their own words the American system of patrols, convoys, home raids, detentions, and military checkpoints that became a living nightmare for civilians in Iraq.\" — TomDispatch.com

Michael Schwartz

Michael Schwartz is a Professor of Sociology at Stony Brook University and author of War Without End: The Iraq War in Context, published by Haymarket Books. Michael is also a regular contributor to several progressive online and print publications, including Against the Current, Z Magazine, Asia Times, www.TomDispatch.com, and www.MotherJones.com.

\"Americans have all along needed a sociologist, not a general, to help them understand Iraq... We have the incredible good fortune that the perspicacious Michael Schwartz boldly stepped forward to cast floods of illumination on the Iraq War and its tragic social costs.\" — Juan Cole
