Paul Batou bares his mind and heart in this anthology of poems and prose about his native land in My Last Thoughts About Iraq. His collection of memories, experiences, and reactions give depth to this brilliant literature. In search for love, life, freedom, and peace, readers will feel the pain, humiliation, and destruction that befall the once greatest civilization, Mesopotamia. Delve deeper to understand the how-and-why of Mesopotamia’s destruction --- the invasions, wars, sanctions, and terror. Let Batou’s thoughts, emotions, and poetry show the history and fall of Mesopotamia, its citizens’ suffering, and more, in this stirring book.
