Iraq is a sophisticated, secular country that has been known as the cradle of civilization for 5,000 years. Yet for Westerners fed on CNN, the country is a desert populated by Republican Guards, looting mobs and wailing women. The stories of real Iraqis are rarely heard. Dancing in the No-Fly Zone gives them a voice.Hadani Ditmars has visited Iraq six times in as many years. A woman and an Arab, she can go places most war correspondents never see. Here she writes of her encounters with ordinary Iraqis, bowed but not broken, struggling to go to the theatre, run a hairdressing salon or buy goods on the black market.At one miraculous party during a bombing campaign, Ditmars saw an Iraqi journalist dance with an American reporter while government minders clapped them on. A people who have suffered so much yet can still dance deserve to be portrayed in the full depth of their humanity. It is this spirit that Ditmars captures in Dancing in the No-Fly Zone.

Each entry is complemented by an annotated bibliography of five essential items suggesting further reading.

In Baghdad: City of Peace, City of Blood, celebrated young travelwriter-historian Justin Marozzi gives us a many-layered history of one of the world's truly great cities - both its spectacular golden ages and its terrible disasters 'Justin Marozzi is the most brilliant of the new generation of travelwriter-historians' - Sunday Telegraph Over thirteen centuries, Baghdad has enjoyed both cultural and commercial pre-eminence, boasting artistic and intellectual sophistication and an economy once the envy of the world. It was here, in the time of the Caliphs, that the Thousand and One Nights were set. Yet it has also been a city of great hardships, beset by epidemics, famines, floods, and numerous foreign invasions which have brought terrible bloodshed. This is the history of its storytellers and its tyrants, of its philosophers and conquerors. Here, in the first new history of Baghdad in nearly 80 years, Justin Marozzi brings to life the whole tumultuous history of what was once the greatest capital on earth. Justin Marozzi is a Councillor of the Royal Geographic Society and a Senior Research Fellow at Buckingham University. He has broadcast for BBC Radio Four, and regularly contributes to a wide range of publications, including the Financial Times, for which he has worked in Iraq, Afghanistan and Darfur. His previous books include the bestselling Tamerlane: Sword of Islam, a Sunday Telegraph Book of the Year (2004), and The Man Who Invented History: Travels with Herodotus.
