Beyond Iraq is a hard-hitting look at the Iraq conflict's impact on the Middle East and its relationship with the West. Rod Nordland, Newsweek's chief foreign correspondent, describes reality on the ground, "Reality in Eye-rack: It Only Gets Worse." Jamie Tarabay, an Australian-Lebanese reporter for National Public Radio talks to Arabs across the Middle East to see how conflict changed their lives and their view of the Unites States.
Yuri Kozyrev of Time magazine and Noor photo agency, who has photographed the war in Iraq from its opening salvos, dramatically pictures each stage of conflict and collapse in the first comprehensive retrospective of his coverage from 2003 to 2008.
Remy Ourdan of Le Monde explains how U.S. policy in Iraq strengthens al Qaeda and swells terrorist ranks, and Keith Richburg of The Washington Post follows around the world the ripples that have spread beyond Iraq. Jeff Danziger's cartoon panel captures the anguish of young Americans stuck with an unwinnable war.
