Book excerpt: Over thirteen centuries, Baghdad has enjoyed both cultural and commercial pre-eminence, boasting artistic and intellectual sophistication and an economy once the envy of the world. It was here, in the time of the Caliphs, that the Thousand and One Nights were set. Yet it has also been a city of great hardships, beset by epidemics, famines, floods, and numerous foreign invasions which have brought terrible bloodshed. This is the history of its storytellers and its tyrants, of its philosophers and conquerors. Here, in the first new history of Baghdad in nearly 80 years, Justin Marozzi brings to life the whole tumultuous history of what was once the greatest capital on earth.

Book excerpt: This is the untold story about one of the most debated yet misunderstood conflicts in modern history. Many are not aware of the numerous events leading up to the invasion of Iraq, or if weapons of mass destruction were found. Danbaghdad reveals what you were never told about the war in Iraq as documented through one man's detailed account of daily life in the "not-so-heavily-fortified" Green Zone. As the official representative of the Treasury Department for criminal matters, IRS Special Agent/Attaché Dan Morris worked with members of the HVI Committee, the Iraqi National Intelligence Service (INIS - similar to our CIA), the Commission on Public Integrity (CPI - similar to our FBI), the Iraqi National Security Council, the National Intelligence Coordination Committee, and numerous other agencies in matters involving military and law enforcement issues. He also attended a portion of Saddam Hussein's trial and participated in raids with US and Iraqi Special Forces as a member of the Iraq Threat Finance Cell. These experiences provided a unique opportunity to view Iraq from multiple perspectives which were documented, as they occurred, in personal journal entries that serve as the backbone of the book. These raw entries retain the "flavor" and spontaneity of original thoughts and first-hand accounts of the real Iraq at that time. To set the stage for the book and to provide a better understanding of issues discussed in the journal, extensive research was conducted to document additional historical information about Saddam Hussein, Iraq, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Accounts of raids with Special Forces, riding on Route Irish, "corkscrew" landings in the back of a C-130, flying in a Black Hawk in blackout mode at night, and many others are detailed. Learn about Saddam Hussein's rise to power, how he earned the title "The Butcher of Baghdad", and details of his capture (Operation Red Dawn), final days, and execution. His barbaric nature is revealed in events such as the killing of his sons-in-law and the genocide of the Kurds, including the infamous Halabja Massacre. Glimpse inside the courtroom of the second trial of Saddam Hussein with a rare first-hand narrative of the curious tribunal setting, the unusual antics during the trial, and the testimony of witnesses regarding the murder of men, women, and children. See how "willful blindness" was practiced as rampant political corruption within the newly-formed government robbed Iraq of funds that were badly needed to rebuild its infrastructure. Learn about dedicated Iraqis such as Brigadier General Radwan, a member of the HVI Committee, Dr. Nazar al-Waelly, advisor to the Iraqi National Security Council, and Judge Radhi, head of the CPI, as they struggled to rebuild Iraq. Meanwhile, a growing Iranian influence became so strong within Iraqi leadership that some in our government proposed blackmailing Iraqi officials to ensure they would make decisions commensurate with US policies. Read about frequent rocket and mortar attacks, sniper fire, improvised explosive devices, and other types of bombs encountered throughout the Green Zone, some striking our US Embassy. Life in a war zone is sometimes stranger than fiction and part of it is captured here with war-time humor, bizarre anecdotes, and tales of random events that affected mere moments in time yet saved someone's life. This is the true story of Special Agent/Attaché Dan Morris at the United States Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, from August 2006 through August 2007, one of the most dangerous time periods for Americans to be there.

Book excerpt: When conventional medicine fails, reservations about alternative healing methods disappear. This factor led to the young Armenian-Persian faith healer Avak Hakobian being invited to the USA in 1947. His mission: to heal a paralyzed Californian millionaire`s son. Then as now, charismatic healers benefit from the assumption that they have access to a mystical source or transcendent energy. Not a few people entrust such supposed healers with their physical as well as their spiritual well-being. "Avak Hakobian - From Fame to Failure" is the previously untold story of one such healer who for a time made headline news.

Download or read book Once Upon a Time in Baghdad written by Margo Kirtikar and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once Upon a Time is creative non-fiction written in the form of a memoir which focuses on the fact that another Baghdad existed not too long ago when people of different nationalities and religions lived and worked together peacefully. The central point of the book is life in Baghdad during the 1940s and 1950s, a period remembered as the golden age of Iraq. The stories told are as seen through the eyes of a young girl and woman, the author, who was born and raised in a Christian multicultural middle class family in Baghdad of the time. The book spans the first twenty years of her life spent in the Middle East. Intertwined with her personal story, the author tells of the lives of others, family, relatives and friends, as she knew them in the Baghdad of her youth. Iraq was a nation of multicultural and diverse people of all backgrounds and beliefs, with a heritage that goes back thousand of years. Iraqis and non-Iraqis, Moslems and non-Moslems, Christians and Jews lived, worked and mingled together in harmony, each aware of their particular cultural boundaries and respectful of others. As the author narrates her personal story she reveals many insights into her life, customs and cultures of Christian and Moslem families, both Iraqis and non-Iraqis who lived and thrived in Baghdad. Interwoven with the personal stories are historical chapters and facts that enable the reader to gain in-depth knowledge of the complexities of the religions, cultural and socio-economic background of Iraq and its people. References to present day conditions in Iraq act like a magnifying glass, making the potential for the country¡¦s possibly hopeful future, if it can find a connection to its more happy past, all the more vivid. The story is not told chronologically. The author weaves back and forth making time and space, condense and merge. There is a co-presence of different eras and events giving the book an unusual richness. Flashbacks and leaps into the present co-exist simultaneously creating a weave not unlike the arabesque intertwining of Arabic ornaments.

Download or read book A Glimpse at the Travelogues of Baghdad written by Iman Al-Attar and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-19 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Baghdad in the 18th and 19th centuries had predominantly been written by two groups. The first group is Baghdadi scholars, and the second group is travellers. These two resources complement each other; while the literature of Baghdadi scholars provides insights from inside, travelogues provide observations from outside. By implementing this interlocking method of investigation, we can reach a comprehensive understanding of the history of Baghdad. Having investigated some sources from inside in my previous book; Baghdad: an urban history through the lens of literature, the focus of this book is on travel literature. The history of travelogues throughout different periods of Baghdad’s history is highlighted, with a particular focus on 18th and 19th century travelogues. This period was a critical epoch of change, not just in Baghdad, but across the world. Nevertheless, this book does not intend to provide a documentary of the travellers who visited Baghdad. It is rather an analytical study of the colonial literature in relation to the historiography of Baghdad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIII THE ATTACK ON THE DUJAILA REDOUBT The attack on March 8th on the Sinn position on the right bank was perhaps the most criticised action in the advance. The scheme was to carry the Dujaila Redoubt, the key of the whole position, and thence to pivot round in the enemy's rear and cut off his communications, thus making the right bank untenable. It was hoped that this manoeuvre would compel the Turks to evacuate the north bank, leaving us the command of the river and an open door to Kut. We put into the field for these operations the 3rd Division and three Brigades, the 28th, 35th, and 36th, in all some 20,000 men, including cavalry, sappers, and pioneers. The Turkish force on the right bank between the Shatt-el-Hai and our position was estimated at 10,000, not including the reserves that could be brought up from Shumran or ferried across the Tigris at Magasis. The total force at their command between Baghdad and the firing line was estimated at 35,000. A bolder, though ultimately less ambitious, scheme would have been, instead of attacking the Sinn position, to march straight on Kut and extricate Townshend and his garrison so that they could have joined camps with Aylmer at a point in advance of Orah, leaving the Turk the empty prize of Kut, and the command for the time being of this stretch of the river. Experience had taught us that the cost of these frontal attacks, even when successful, is prohibitive. We had not recovered from the wastage of January 7th, 12th, and 21st; and to waste ourselves again with reinforcements in sight seemed like the act of a man with a broken limb who takes his splints off a day or two before the bone has united. The essential thing was to concentrate our forces for one blow, not to fritter them...
