The human story of the battle of Iraq in 2003 from the perspective of the BBC news correspondent, Rageh Omaar, who had spent several years living and reporting from Iraq before the war. He describes the atmosphere before the bombardment of Baghdad began and how the populous coped.
Throughout the war in Iraq millions of people turned to Rageh Omaar's BBC reports from Baghdad. To this terrifying and controversial conflict Omaar brought a rare, and utterly compelling perspective. Revolution Day is written from the heart of Baghdad and follows the war from its beginning to its aftermath: Omaar describes the atmosphere among its people on the night before the bombs fell; the overwhelming fear evoked by the sounds of nightly bombardment; the city's response to the most earth-shattering of experiences, a city that had been suffocated by a dictator and ripped apart by war. Revolution Day is a unique and beautifully written account of a war at the centre of modern politics that will be read by generations of readers for many years to come.
