About the book

Stranger in your Own City by Ghaith Abdul-Ahad is a biography for adult readers.

From Orwell Prize winning journalist Ghaith Abdul-Ahad comes a searing and nuanced biography of a lost Iraq 'Exquisite. A genuine, melancholy masterpiece' WILLIAM DALRYMPLE 'A journalistic marvel' JAMES MEEK 'A powerful, unforgettable book' NADIFA MOHAMMED. This is the story of a people who once lived under the rule of a megalomaniac leader who shaped the state in his own image.

Then one day, after yet another war, a foreign army invaded, toppled the leader, destroyed the state, and proceeded to invent a new country. This is the story of a people who watched with horror as their world fragmented into a hundred different cities, as walls rose between them and bodies piled in the streets. From the American invasion to the Arab Spring, ISIS and beyond, A Stranger in Your Own City offers a remarkable de-centring of the West in the history and contemporary situation of the region.
