Synopsis
Collateral Damage brings together testimony from the largest number of on the record, named, combat veterans who reveal the disturbing, daily reality of war and occupation in Iraq.
Through their eyes, we learn how the mechanics of war lead to the abuse and frequent killing of innocents. They describe convoys of vehicles roaring down roads, smashing into cars, and hitting Iraqi civilians. They detail raids that leave families shot dead in the mayhem. And they describe a battlefield in which troops, untrained to distinguish between combatants and civilians, are authorized to shoot whenever they feel threatened.

From AudioFile
Two award-winning journalists team up to deliver this controversial yet well-researched account, which details the venality of war and the murders and slayings of innocent Iraqi citizens at the hands of American soldiers. With a large number of recorded interviews conducted with combat veterans, the true dogs of war are revealed for all to hear. Narrator Lloyd James is aware of the controversial nature of the material and delivers a respectful and ultimately powerful reading that presents it in a matter-of-fact light. Never preaching or editorializing in its tone, James's narration is affecting without sounding manufactured. Endlessly heartbreaking yet vital for all to hear. L.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
