Baghdad to Brooklyn: An Ordinary Journey Through Extraordinary Times -- Laith Yousif, Paperback

Iraq is one of the worst-marketed countries on earth. Baghdad to Brooklyn is the memoir that offers a different version, not the war room view, not the palace view, but the daily life of an ordinary Iraqi who grew up under Saddam, survived a war, left everything behind, and reported to work at the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11th. It's a story about what comes after the headline: years of asylum, reinvention, and eventually, a life built from scratch in Brooklyn.
