My Most Important Reference in Iraq
29 Jun 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm doing my second command tour in as many years in Iraq, and I use this book every day in my dealings with the Iraqis.
In fact, I have bought and given multiple copies of this fine work to Arabs who enjoy being able to compare the Arabic and English side by side.
The book is well written and contains a gold mine of cultural information.
Well done!
In service,
Rich
