description: From 1998 until the chaotic aftermath of the American-led invasion in 2003, Irish news reporter Richard Downes witnessed first hand the incredible changes that engulfed Iraq.In Search of Iraq is not just an account of a nation’s suffering as it moved from dictatorship to foreign occupation and guerrilla warfare, it focuses on the humane side normally neglected in the ordinary men, women and children – their customs, religion, culture and historical diversity. Downes’ account goes beyond the daily distilled news reports seen by the Western World. Its unflinching focus on the humanity of those involved reveals the true horror and impact of war, as well as the friendships that can blossom in a country torn to shreds.
