Escape from Saddam: The Incredible True Story of One Man’s Journey to Freedom by Lewis Alsamari—Raised for several years in Manchester, England, Alsamari was unexpectedly sent back to Baghdad by his father a few years before the first Gulf War and he spends the next 10 years dreaming of a way out. While this book doesn’t describe a great tourist destination, it does give an inside look at the culture and people in Iraq—during the reign of Saddam Hussein. A book review explains more.
