  The verbatim play Fallujah , starring Samanthan Morton and with a score by Nitin Sawney, is set to be this year's Guantanamo. This sourcebook documents the testimony that forms the basis of the play, from Iraqi civilians, NGOs, politicians, US and UK military, and journalists involved in the three attacks on Fallujah. It makes a strong case - based on unpublished evidence gathered by Dr Scilla Elworthy of Peace Direct (and a Nobel Peace-Prize nominee) - that the US military should be hauled up before the ICC for war crimes. This book will provide the key to the way the verbatim material was put together, to reveal the facts behind the play's fictional form. Also published here is an essay by the playwright and director Jonathan Holmes, and Scilla Elworthy, putting forward the case behind the research and making public the atrocities carried out by the Americans.
