In 'Baghdad Burning', a young Iraqi woman, using the pseudonym Riverbend, gives a human face to war and occupation. In this hard-hitting journal, she describes the day-to-day realities of life in post-war Iraq, which for her family and neighbours means regular power-cuts, bombings, kidnappings and raids.
Riverbend ist eine anoynme 26-jährige Irakerin, die nach ihrem Informatikstudium als Programmiererin und Netzwerk-Spezialistin arbeitet. Sie lebt mit ihrem Bruder und ihren Eltern in Bagdad.
