Very god condition. *****Using his brief incarceration in an Iraqi prison as a focal point, a journalist narrates a harrowing first-person account of life in Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Held for eight days on suspicion of being an American spy, McAllester returned to Iraq after the collapse of Saddam's regime to search for his captors. Together with his own personal recollections of his imprisonment, he interweaves the larger story of a nation held in a different type of captivity for more than two decades. As McAllester struggled to cope with the trauma of his ordeal and unexpected release, so too did an Iraqi people suddenly liberated by the swift collapse of Hussein's brutal dictatorship.*****
