Opis:
Unlike other publications since the downfall of
Saddam's regime, Iraq: Then & Now traces the history of the country from
ancient times until the present. Supplementary boxes, many written by Iraqis
themselves, reflect on life today as compared with life in Saddam's Iraq and
even earlier, describing their experiences, hopes, fears, ambitions and visions
for the future.
The book self-consciously avoids making any judgement on
the political debate surrounding the 2003 war and subsequent occupation; instead
it presents the varying views, and offers a rounded, balanced
picture.
Published to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the change,
this guide to the country and its people, provides information on Iraq's culture
and archaeology, the south, Baghdad and the Sunni Triangle. The northern region
of Iraqi Kurdistan stands apart as a success story and the travel appendix
provides essential information for the increasing numbers of visitors to this
region.
