2005ril. Monica Maggioni ha condotto diversi telegiornali e programmi RAI (TV7, Unomattina) e ha realizzato molti reportage dall'estero. Nel 2003 segue dagli Usa le diverse fasi di preparazione della guerra in Iraq e subito dopo parte per il conflitto al seguito delle truppe americane. Dopo la dichiarazione della fine ufficiale dei combattimenti rimane in Iraq a documentare le difficili fasi della guerra. In questo libro la giornalista guida il lettore in un viaggio verso l'Iraq dei soldati americani, soldati che vivono un universo parallelo fatto di linguaggi, abitudini, codici sconosciuti, soldati che non sono Rambo né raffinati professionisti della guerra.
2007br. Unica giornalista italiana al seguito dell'esercito americano, Monica Maggioni ha vissuto per settimane insieme ai soldati americani in Iraq. Ha indossato come loro la rigida e pesantissima tuta di protezione contro gli attacchi chimici, come loro spesso non ha dormito o non si è lavata, e ha mangiato per giorni le razioni K. Tutto questo per essere dentro la guerra, dal punto di vista di chi la vive in prima persona, in prima linea. Ed è il punto di vista di una donna in un mondo tenacemente maschile, che racconta, tra viaggi in camion o in elicottero, tra le sabbie e il cielo, il volto più autentico della guerra: non soltanto la battaglia, ma anche la forza e la fragilità, la paura e le speranze dei tanti giovani che la combattono e che sognano di tornare presto a casa, vivi.
2003br. E' l'appello di un uomo di fronte ai venti di guerra che minacciano di sconvolgere gli equilibri tra l'Occidente e i Paesi mediorientali. Slamon Warduni, vescovo di Baghdad, spiega in questa intervista chi cerca la pace e chi vuole la guerra, qual è il vero stato del dialogo tra cristianesimo e Islam, in un Paese, l'Iraq, in cui i cristiani sono il 3% della popolazione eppure Aziz, un cattolico di rito caldeo, è il vicepremier. Accanto ai ritratti insoliti di Bush e Saddam, Slamon Warduni mette in campo l'argomento petrolio, quello della sopravvivenza a rischio dei cristiani in Iraq.
