Iraq: the heart of the world

For too many decades in Italy, Europe and the world, Realpolitik imposed silence on the massacres and genocides committed in Iraq. A small group of people have tried to keep alive the fight against this system of collusion and horrors as well as rekindle the memory of the martyrs. Since the fall of that bloodthirsty regime, the linking between old and new terrorism is making the Iraqi people pay a high price in blood.
The new democratic and pluralist Iraq fuels the hope that the people from Iraq and its institutions can finally live in peace and prosperity.
This book aims to relate the present to the past, and to the epochal upheavels suffered by Iraq over the millennia. But Iraq has always risen again from its ruins and the light of its civilization still enlightens hearts and minds.
