Product Description
Synopsis
On the 24th of September, 2003, the above entry was posted onto a weblog by an anonymous 25 year old female using the pseudonym 'Riverbend'. In this hard-hitting journal, she describes the day-to-day realities of life in post-war Iraq, which for her family and neighbours means regular power-cuts, bombings, kidnappings and night-time raids by US soldiers. Including diary entries covering the release of the torture pictures of Abu Ghraib and Bush's State of the Union Speech as well as a more critical analysis of key players during the war and in its aftermath, "Baghdad Burning" offers a highly personal narrative on life since the US occupation that is at once disturbing and insightful. With thousands of loyal readers worldwide, the Riverbend blog is recognized around the world as a crucial source of information not available through the mainstream media.
