Peggy Gish went to Iraq in an attempt to prevent war, but on March 20, 2003, the bombs began falling on Baghdad. In her book, Gish recounts the moving experiences of Christian Peacemaker Teams' (CPT) work in Iraq, before, during, and after the 2003 war and occupation. Told as her personal account, Gish shares the story of prisoner abuse, the character of the Iraqi people, and a passionate vision for peace. ""By her presence. Peggy Gish accompanied the people of Iraq in their fear before the United States invasion of March 2003, and in their suffering during and after it. Thus she became what Monsignor Romero called 'a voice for the voiceless.' This is a book to be savored and pondered by all practitioners of nonviolence."" -Staughton Lynd, author ""In Iraq, the reader is on-site with the nonviolent work of CPT. For anyone who ever wondered how nonviolence works, if it works, or what it looks like in a situation of great violence, Peggy Gish's Iraq addresses those questions."" -John K. Stoner, author of Every Church a Peace Church ""I was glued to this fascinating diary. It reveals one so in love with a beautiful people and culture that pity of their suffering is not appropriate."" -Dale W. Brown, Bethany Theological Seminary Peggy Faw Gish has been working in Iraq with Christian Peacemaker Teams since October 2002. She has been active in peace and justice work for the past forty-five years. Peggy is a mother, grandmother, community mediator, and member of the Church of the Brethren. She lives on a farm near Athens, OH.
