The Iraqi soldiers rounding up young Sunni men and sending them to prison to be brutalized, sowing the seeds of the civil war only a year down the road from this sweltering night, full of the smell of baking honeybread.

Partisan night raid of which I have no memory. There were so many nights like this. The Iraqi soldiers rounding up young Sunni men and sending them to prison to be brutalized, sowing the seeds of the civil war only a year down the road from this sweltering night, full of the smell of baking honeybread.

Their immediate family has been farming in the area for at least four generations. Before them, ancestral people farmed their land intermittently for nearly a thousand years. The Pecusa family farms in a largely traditional manner, using little farm machinery and employing ancient dry land farming practices that allow them to grow corn in an arid environment that receives only eight to twelve inches of rain per year.
