Iraq
Travel Guide. 1st Edition. Bradt
Publications. 320 pages.

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.
• Iraq's recent political process – interview with former Prime
Minister, Ayad Allawi
• Iraq's heritage – its destruction and preservation
