Description

A Hundred and One Days by Åsne Seierstad is a gripping account of life in Baghdad during the war. In January 2003, Norwegian journalist Åsne Seierstad entered Iraq on a short visa to report on the conflict, staying for over three months. Her book offers a unique perspective on the city's daily life under siege and the challenges faced by journalists trying to uncover the truth. Seierstad's passionate and erudite writing conveys the drama and tragedy of her time in Baghdad, where propaganda and fear dominated every aspect of life. This is a compelling story of one woman's experiences in a city at war, and a thought-provoking exploration of the human cost of conflict. Through her account, Seierstad sheds light on the complexities of life in Iraq during this period, revealing both the resilience of its people and the dangers they faced.
