The Critics:
Praise for Dancing in the
No-Fly Zone
"It...touches places in the
nation's soul that horror headlines never reach."
- Boyd Tonkin, literary critic of
the London Independent
Review
"In the midst of a flurry of
publications on Iraq by journalists, politicians, diplomats, and
academics, Hadani Ditmars' work undoubtedly stands out. Her book
is not only engaging, interesting, original, and perceptive, but
she has clearly done her homework. The book is full of
information that provides the reader with a historical context
and insight into the human cost of sanctions and war. Yet it is
not just a book about misery.
Dancing in the No-Fly Zone is about people pursuing art,
culture, music, and entertainment despite economic
deterioration, repression, and later on, war and occupation."
- Nadje Al-Ali, Anglo-Iraqi academic
"Of the plethora of books out
there on Iraq, Dancing in the No-Fly Zone has a sense of
reality and immediacy difficult to match...Ditmars adds layers to
the nameless, countless individuals we see for nanoseconds,
flashing across our screens, as another atrocity is announced.
The cultural richness, stoicism and adaptability of Iraqis
clenches at the heart muscles... This text is a reference on
human courage and normalcy in the face of utter chaos."
- Miriam Cook, UK's
Open Democracy
