Paperback. Zustand: Good. In September 2002 a 29-year-old Iraqi man living in Baghdad began publishing a diary on the internet. He adopted the name Salam Pax and wrote in complete secrecy. He was taking a terrible risk in writing freely about the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein. As war approached, millions around the world found…their way to Salam's daily weblog to read his funny and frightening reports of life in a city crippled by fear and slipping into chaos. Then the bombs began to fall. There's something quite remarkable about the experience of reading Salam Pax, especially for those who read him during the war. Here is an unedited voice from another culture, writing in a way that instantly reminds us how much alike we are, across different cultures and continents. The Baghdad Blog was published simultaneously in Australia by Text Publishing, in the UK by Atlantic Books and in the USA by Grove/Atlantic. 206 pages.

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. Photos included in listing. Book is slightly bent, see photos. About the book: In September 2002, a young Iraqi calling himself 'Salam Pax' began posting accounts of everyday life in Baghdad onto the internet. Written in English, these bulletins contained everything from reviews of the latest CDs, to d…escriptions of Saddam's brutality. In writing this web diary, Salam took a huge risk. Had he been caught criticizing Saddam on his web site, it would have cost him his life. Salam Pax's incisive and dryly funny articles soon attracted a massive worldwide readership. In the months that followed, as an American-led force gathered to destroy the Iraqi regime, his diary became a unique record of the resentment, amusement and terror felt by an ordinary man living through the final days of a long dictatorship, and the chaos that followed its destruction. This book collects together Salam Pax's writings to tell the story of the war in Iraq from inside that besieged country. It provides a uniquely gripping perspective on the conflict and its aftermath. It is a remarkable document.
