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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Has to be read, 6 Aug 2007
By BM "bookmummy" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This book is a must-read for everyone in this country, politicised or not. The writing is beautiful and poignant and had me crying on a train in public (not a common event). Finding out closer-hand whiat we have done to Iraq and its citizens in this war is heartbreaking but necessary. The book (basically her blog) is really well-written and much much better than the dramatisation on radio 4 which I didn't enjoy. It's not perfect; it's written by a young middle-class Iraqi woman and I'm sure her experiences and opinions are not shared by all of her compatriots. Nonetheless this is her life and we are all to some extent responsible for the life she now leads.
