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.
