Untold Story of Iraq

This book is about Iraq. It is about memories, truth, love, family, gardens, and culture. It is also about injustice, corruption, Abu Ghraib, the Gulf wars and even the Cold war. No one can understand what happened in Iraq during the US led wars and what is happening today without knowing the dreaded realities of the rise of the Ba'ath regime with assistance of foreign powers; and how that ill fated event began the destruction of Iraq. But most of all, this is the story of a great man, a jewel from Iraq, the story of sincere and kind people, like Makki Kubba, who were abused at the hands of tyrannical rulers. Even fifty years later, Makki Kubba symbolizes the still untold story of Iraq.
