Not One More Death

A powerful book condemning the US and UK imperial adventures in Iraq from some of the leading voices of the Anti-War Movement. Includes the voices of major figures from the worlds of literature, science and music, including Harold Pinters acclaimed Nobel Prize speech.

At a time when the US and UK are contemplating further imperial adventures in Iran, Not One More Death lays bare the act of blatant state terrorism that is the invasion and occupation of Iraq, and reveals the extraordinary tapestry of lies, distortions and gross media manipulation that underpin it. Here, prominent artists, musicians, playwrights, scientists and writers look at the reality behind the rhetoric: how public opinion is wilfully ignored and democracy used as a figleaf for the furthering of colonial ambitions in the Middle East. Not One More Death calls on the US and UK to withdraw troops from Iraq now, and for Bush and Blair to be brought to account for this illegal war.

Thejustification for the invasion of Iraq was that Saddam Husseinpossessed a highly dangerous body of weapons of mass destruction, someof which could be fired in 45 minutes, bringing about appallingdevastation. We were assured that was true. It was not true. We weretold that Iraq had a relationship with Al Qaeda and sharedresponsibility for the atrocity in New York of September 11, 2001. Wewere assured that this was true. It was not true. We were told thatIraq threatened the security of the world. We were assured it was true.It was not true. --Harold Pinter
Harold Pinter wurde 1930 in London geboren. Er war nach seiner Ausbildung an der Royal Academy of Dramatic Art bis 1957 Schauspieler an diversen Provinzbühnen. Die Uraufführung seines ersten abendfüllenden Stücks 'Die Geburtstagsfeier' stieß 1958 bei der englischen Kritik auf Unverständnis; 1960 etablierte ihn schließlich 'Der Hausmeister' als einen der meistgespielten und einflussreichsten britischen Dramatiker.§Neben Stücken hat er Drehbücher (u.a. für Regisseure wie Joseph Losey, Elia Kazan, Robert Altman, Volker Schlöndorff und Paul Schrader) geschrieben, Hör- und Fernsehspiele sowie den Roman 'Die Zwerge', Regie geführt und als Schauspieler in Film und Theater gearbeitet.§Harold Pinter erhielt den Literatur-Nobelpreis 2005.
