Return to Ruin
With the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Iraqis abroad, hoping to return one day to a better Iraq, became uncertain exiles. Return to Ruin tells the human story of this exile in the context of decades of U.S. imperial interests in Iraq—from the U.S. backing of the 1963 Ba''th coup and support of Saddam Hussein''s regime in the 1980s, to the 1991 Gulf War and 2003 invasion and occupation.
