During the main action of the Gulf War the public often felt assaulted by a mass of undigested impressions, images and opinions from the media and the military. It was almost as if a war film were in progress rather than a very harsh reality. Now after the hostilities, experts in their fields offer more analyses of events preceding, during and after the Gulf War and provide readers with facts and perspectives. These essays enable the reader to consider the enormous consequences of military action and to draw their own conclusions about the real nature of war and the potential for peace on our planet.

Eight women tell their stories using their own words, stories of the unseen fallout of the war on terror in Britain. These are stories of real women, from cultures as varied as Palestine, Senegal, Jordan, Libya, St John’s Wood, and the English Midlands. They all came to the UK as refugees, or married refugees here. After 9/11 the world they loved here vanished almost overnight. One after another they were engulfed by isolation and private terror.

Shadow Lives reveals the unseen side of the '9/11 wars': their impact on the wives and families of men incarcerated in Guantanamo, or in prison or under house arrest in Britain and the US. Victoria Brittain shows how these families have been made socially invisible and a convenient scapegoat for the state in order to exercise arbitrary powers under the cover of the 'War on Terror'.
