Daily Life in Ancient and Modern Baghdad

64 pp. | Lerner/Runestone | June, 2000 | Library ISBN 0-8225-3219-0 $$23.93
(4) 4-6 Cities Through Time series. Illustrated by Ray Webb. This book traces the city's history from 762 C.E. to the present, including a dispassionate account of the last decade. Chapters on cultural details alternate with historical accounts (sometimes jarringly: the 1958 assassination of King Faisal II is followed by an upbeat "Food in Baghdad" section). Visuals include boxed quotations from primary sources, reproductions, generic illustrations, and color photos. A time line is included. Bib., ind.
