This translated book is unique in its kind and presentation, clearly revealing historical secrets about the modern history of Iraq. It contains sixty historical letters written in English from 1914 to 1947 by the British officer Cyril Porter. He arrived with the British campaign to occupy Iraq during World War I, and remained in the country, refusing to return to live in Britain. He fell in love with the vibrant life, customs, and food in Iraq, and lived there until his death in 1967. He was buried in the soil of Baghdad, becoming part of it in body and soul. He married two Iraqi women and sent these letters to his sister, Dora, in London, who passed away in 1947 and was buried in Britain.
