The Clandestine Diary of an Ordinary Iraqi by Salam Pax

The Clandestine Diary of an Ordinary Iraqi is a volume of the collected blog postings about everyday life in Baghdad of a 29-year-old Iraqi architect known only as Salam Pax. Incisive and funny, these short pieces provide a unique account of the anticipation, resentment, amusement, and sheer terror felt by an ordinary man living through the final days of a long dictatorship, and the chaos that followed its collapse.
