MEMO speaks to Ross Caputi about the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, the siege of Fallujah and building an oral history archive made up of Iraqi voices and stories.
Caputi served in the US marine corps and was stationed in Iraq, but grew disillusioned with the war and became an anti-war activist.
He is currently a doctoral candidate at the Department of History in the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. He is also helping to build an archive made up of Iraqi testimonies and memories and is the author of The Sacking of Fallujah: A People's History.
