| 520 | |a Abdul-Ahad's book is not about Iraq's history or an inventory of the many Middle Eastern wars that have consumed the nation over the past several decades. This is the tale of a people who once lived under the rule of a megalomaniacal leader who shaped the state in his own image; a people who watched a foreign army invade, topple that leader, demolish the state, and then invent a new country. He focuses on everyday people, soldiers, mercenaries, citizens: blown sideways through life by the war, and the proliferation of sectarian battles that continues to this day. -- adapted from jacket | ||
