As the country gets ready to observe independence day, we might find it useful to ready Anthony Arnove’s most recent book on the issue of US troops in Iraq. The title is modeled after a book that radical historian Howard Zinn wrote in 1967 called Vietnam: The Logic of Withdrawal. Not only does Arnove’s book share the same title as Zinn’s book, he shares similar arguments and the same conclusion. This is Arnove’s second book on Iraq, the first of which was an excellent collection of essays written during the late 90s entitled Iraq Under Siege: The Deadly Impact of Sanctions and War. In many ways, if the anti-war movements in the US had paid attention to issues raised in Arnove’s first book, we might have a much different analysis of and strategy for ending the US occupation of Iraq now.
