Features: Since the Gulf War, Iraq has been a focal point of global attention. The military strikes by the US and UK, as well as the economic sanctions imposed by the United Nations, have left this once-birthplace of the brilliant two-river civilization in an extremely severe state of survival. How have the Iraqis managed to survive amid internal and external difficulties? What harm have depleted uranium weapons caused to ordinary civilians? How have our personnel in Iraq navigated the perilous "thousand-li life line" in this crisis-ridden environment? And how many decoys did Saddam and Uday have? Readers will find satisfactory answers to these questions in this book. As a foreign diplomat who has been stationed in Iraq for a long time, the author provides in-depth analysis of international relations, interesting anecdotes of interactions with Iraqis, and unique experiences of diplomats, allowing readers to gain valuable insights while enjoying an easy read.
