In Voices of the Iraq War, award-winning journalist David Wood provides a powerful and unforgettable account of the war from the perspectives of those who lived it firsthand. Through intimate interviews with soldiers, civilians, and families, Wood paints a vivid picture of the human cost of war and the lasting impact it has on all who are touched by it.

Wood begins the book by introducing us to a cast of characters whose lives will be forever changed by the war. There's Sergeant First Class Paul Cortez, a decorated soldier who struggles to come to terms with the horrors he has witnessed. There's Layla al-Attar, a young Iraqi woman who is forced to flee her home when it is destroyed by an airstrike. And there's Father Michael Lapsley, an Anglican priest who works tirelessly to help the victims of war.
