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)
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
