Babylon to Brooklyn

This book is the unique story of a self-made man. A man who grew up in the depth of poverty, a man who was able to overcome it and later on become a physician for Saddam Hussein and his family. Dr. Shakir Al-Janabi addresses in this book many events that took place in Iraq since the 1940s and until the first decade of the twenty first century. He discusses the country's political and military issues by virtue of his employment as a high ranking army medical doctor. He practiced medicine in Iraq, England and the United States and retuned to Iraq because of his love for his homeland.
