Riverbend. Baghdad Burning. New York, NY; The Feminist Press, 2005.
The author of Baghdad Burning is a girl who calls herself Riverbend. She is an Iraqi woman in her mid twenties who blogs about what is going on in the war. Not always about the politics but how her and her family deal with it and how it affects their lives. I will learn from this book what it is like for Iraqi women to go through this war, and also be able to experience and read about things that are not shown on the TV. I think one of the major benefits from reading this book is that I will get to see how people go through everyday life in a war.
