Recently ACTIVATE/SDS decided that it would be a good idea to compile a list of books, videos, and online resources that have been helpful in shaping our understanding of the Iraq War, U.S. Imperialism, and organizing. Here’s a list that we came up with:

Iraq War

Anthony Arnove, Iraq: The Logic of Withdrawal

Anthony Arnove, ed. Iraq Under Seige: The Deadly Impact of Sanctions and War

Deep Dish TV, World Tribunal on Iraq (DVD)

Electroniciraq.net

Elizabeth Warnock Fernea, Guest of the Sheik: An Enthography of an Iraqi Village

Dahr Jamail, Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq

Riverbend, Baghdad Burning: Girl Blog from Iraq

U.S. Imperialism

Michael J. Sullivan, American Adventurism Abroad:  30 Invasions, Interventions, and Regime Changes Since WWII

Howard Zinn, A People’s History of the United States

Organizing

Aimee Alison and David Solnit, Army of None: Strategies to Counter Military Recruitment, EndWar, and Build a Better World

Saul Alinksy, Rules for Radicals

Randy Shaw, The Activist’s Handbook
