A precious jewel of a book.' Il Manifesto, Rome When you have an ugly occupation you can't have a beautiful resistance.Like Tariq Ali's previous work, The Clash of Fundamentalisms, this book presents a magnificent cultural and political history of Iraqi resistance against empires old and new. Ali's substantial new postscript, 'Blood Meridian: Year One of the Occupation', authoritatively dismantles the lies of favourite house Arabs such as Fouad Ajami, shatters masks of UN compliance with the occupation, and shines bright light both on the Anglo-American attempts to privatize Iraq and the speed character and endurance of the latest level of resistance. The author his written a fresh Introduction for the Indian edition.

The astonishing story of the soldiers, conservationists, and ordinary Iraqis who united to save the animals of the Baghdad Zoo When the Iraq war began, conservationist Lawrence Anthony could think of only one thing: the fate of the Baghdad Zoo, caught in the crossfire at the heart of the city. Once Anthony entered Iraq he discovered that hostilities and uncontrolled looting had devastated the zoo and its animals. Working with members of the zoo staff and a few compassionate U.S. soldiers, he defended the zoo, bartered for food on war-torn streets, and scoured bombed palaces for desperately needed supplies. Babylon's Ark chronicles Anthony's hair-raising efforts to save a pride of Saddam's lions, close a deplorable black-market zoo, run ostriches through shoot-to-kill checkpoints, and rescue the dictator's personal herd of Thoroughbred Arabian horses. A tale of the selfless courage and humanity of a few men and women living dangerously for all the right reasons, Babylon's Ark is an inspiring and uplifting true-life adventure of individuals on both sides working together for the sake of magnificent wildlife caught in a war zone.
