A BOOKSELLER OF KABUL for Iraq - the epic story of one family's experience in Saddam's Iraq.

In the winter of 1979, Nabeel Yasin, a renowned young poet in Iraq, escapes with his family due to the oppressive regime of the Ba'ath Party. After enduring severe violence from the Secret Police and being labeled an "enemy of the state," he realizes that remaining in Baghdad would lead to his demise. The story highlights themes of survival, the struggle for freedom of expression, and the personal costs of political persecution.

A timely and fascinating portrait of Abu Dhabi - virtually unheard of a decade ago but now a major world player with a potentially vital role to play in relations between Islam and the West.

The book, originally published in Great Britain in 2009, offers a unique perspective and insights relevant to its themes and characters. The content reflects the cultural and historical context of its time, providing readers with an engaging exploration of its subject matter.
