Iraq

Documenting the author’s flight on the first civilian plane into Baghdad after the airport had been secured, this unusual account details one man’s mission to establish a foothold for one of the largest logistics businesses in one of the world’s most inhospitable markets. Recounting his arrival in the Middle East armed with a camp bed, some baked beans, and a wallet full of money, this recollection charts the characters, comedy, and catastrophe of attempting a business deal within a war zone. Providing a unique perspective on the conflict in Iraq, this chronicle depicts the real-life adventure of a professional with uncommon courage.

Iraq

Wilfred Thesiger's classic account of the eight years he spent living with the tribes people of the Marshes of Iraq. First published in 1964 to great acclaim, this book by one of the century's greatest explorers describes a way of life which lasted for thousands of years, but has now all but vanished. Travelling with his medicine boxes and his teams of canoemen around the junction between the Tigris and the Euphrates, Thesiger visited nearly every village in the Central Marshes and came to know intimately the people who inhabit this landscape of islands, lakes and waterways, living with them in their reed houses and sharing their unique way of life. He beautifully evokes the landscape and its teeming wildlife and vividly brings to life the many friends he made among the Marsh Arabs. His extraordinary photographs provide a stunning record of the last remnants of a people and their culture.

Iraq

In the second of a three book series describing his life in the Middle East after the tragic events of September 11th, 2001, the author fi nds he is alone again in the remote regions of Arabia. As the book begins, the love of his life, an Indian beauty and scholar has departed under dubious circumstances. Her departure leaves him questioning everything, including his own sanity. Through a number of sometimes humorous and other times, tragically pathetic schemes to maintain a sense of belonging (and sanity) in a world where he doesn't belong in the fi rst place, the author fi nds himself in the middle of a romance with one of the last people on earth he should be involved with. To make matters worse, the U.S. is gearing up for an invasion of Iraq to the north and everyone is looking at him (the only American in the region) with even greater suspicion. He also discovers that there are a number of Iraqis who cannot wait for the U.S. to invade and free them from the tyranny of Saddam Hussein. After the invasion takes place, and things begin to go terribly wrong in Iraq, the author fi nds himself alienated by just about everyone except for a beautiful young school teacher who dreams that someday he will be her husband. Rather inadvertently, the author becomes immersed in the culture of the Sultanate of Oman. Through his experiences, the author is able to describe to the casual reader the roles of women, especially their values and limitations in Arab and Muslim society. He also fi nds that in a world of lies, deceit and hatred, there are still people, specifi cally the people of Oman, who are kind and caring and who have come to consider him a part of their family.
