Riverbend. Baghdad Burning: Girl Blog From Iraq. New York, NY: The Feminist Press, 2005.
This book is about a twenty four year old, Iraqi, female that has survived the war. She wrote this book sort of as a rant log so she could get everything out and complain about things as well. Throughout the book she refers to herself as Riverbend and that is all we really know about her. She goes on and describes her days and by her doing this it gives everyone else and insight into the lives of the Iraqi people through out the war. She doesn’t just describe the number of deaths and events, but she tells us how her life is and how she lives through everything. From reading this book i feel i will learn a lot. I don’t really know a lot about the war in Iraq because i don’t watch the news a lot, so by reading this i will learn a ton more about the war, but i will also learn about how she lives and how she gets through it. The benefits of this book is that it lets people know the more detailed life of the war instead of the facts that you hear on TV.
