Dreaming of Baghdad - Haifa Zangana

In 1970s Iraq, the Ba'ath Party was at the height of its influence in the Middle East and popularity throughout the West. But a group of activists recognised the disastrous potential of the regime as its charismatic leader, Saddam Hussein, became more powerful. Haifa Zangana was among those resisters, a small group of whom were captured and imprisoned at Abu Ghraib. In this moving memoir, she tells her story, as well as sharing the acute political insight gathered from her experiences in Iraq and, later, her life in exile.
