Presenting accounts of the looting of Baghdad and his encounters with ordinary Iraqis all over the country, the author offers an inspirational account of Iraq after Saddam.
In 1979, journalist Zuhair al-Jezairy fled Iraq and certain death after openly criticising Saddam''s regime. Twenty-five years later he is back, and cautiously celebrating the toppling of the hated Ba''ath Party. As editor of a newspaper, he breaks the Oil for Food scandal, disclosing the names of Arab and Westerners who were involved. He then sets up a television company and travels all over Iraq, documenting the country''s descent into sectarianism and hopeless violence, soon becoming a target himself. Al-Jezairy''s first-hand accounts of the looting of Baghdad, the destruction of government buildings, and indiscriminate bombings are a searing, personal and unique account of Iraq after Saddam Hussein.
