    The Untold Story of Iraq

    By Juman Kubba

    ()

    About this ebook

    This book is about Iraq. It is about memories, truth, love, family, gardens, and culture. It is also about injustice, corruption, Abu Ghraib, the Gulf wars and even the Cold war. No one can understand what happened in Iraq during the US led wars and what is happening today without knowing the dreaded realities of the rise of the Ba’ath regime with assistance of foreign powers; and how that ill fated event began the destruction of Iraq. But most of all, this is the story of a great man, a jewel from Iraq, the story of sincere and kind people, like Makki Kubba, who were abused at the hands of tyrannical rulers. Even fifty years later, Makki Kubba symbolizes the still untold story of Iraq.

This generation believes in Iraq as a nation and understands democracy as more than a source of spoils to be divided among groups.

    The Iraqi Marshlands and the marsch Arabs: The Ma'dan, Their Culture and the Environment

    The people of the Iraqi marshlands are heirs to a culture that can be traced back thousands of years. Prior to the s, before they were systematically desiccated by Saddam Hussein, these marshes comprised the largest wetland ecosystem in the Middle East. The marshlands are also a site considered by many scholars as the inspiration for the biblical Garden of Eden in the Bible and the Koran, as well as the site where the Great Flood occurred, and the birthplace of the patriarch Abraham. The Iraqi marshlands are therefore an area of major significance in the history of the three monotheistic religions - Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. The Iraqi Marshlands and the marsch Arabs will be the definitive text for all those wishing to develop an in-depth understanding of a rich cultural legacy and lifestyle that survives today only as a fragmented cultural inheritance.
