A Stranger in Your Own City
Travels in the Middle East's Long War
Ghaith Abdul-Ahad
"A Stranger in Your Own City" by Ghaith Abdul-Ahad is a poignant portrayal of the people of Iraq and their struggles through two decades of war. As a native son, Abdul-Ahad offers a unique perspective of his once cosmopolitan city, which fell into chaos due to a megalomaniacal leader, foreign invasion, and the fragmentation of home. Through his reportage, we witness the devastating human cost of war and the shifting allegiances of everyday people, soldiers, and mercenaries. This award-winning book is a beautiful and tragic reminder of the importance of returning the land to the people who truly belong to it.

Just finished a proof of this astonishing book. @GhaithAbdulahad is crucial and important new voice, as brilliant, passionate and fearless as he is well-informed, sceptical and nuanced. – fuente
