Riverbend, a small town in upstate New York, is a far cry from the war-torn streets of Baghdad. But for Riverbend resident Salam Pax, the two places are inextricably linked.

Salam Pax is the author of the popular blog Baghdad Burning, which chronicled his life in Baghdad during the Iraq War. His blog, which was read by millions of people around the world, offered a rare glimpse into the daily lives of Iraqis living under occupation. In Baghdad Burning II, Salam Pax continues his story, recounting his experiences in the years since the war ended.

Baghdad Burning II is a powerful and moving account of one man's journey through war and its aftermath. Salam Pax writes with honesty and humor about the challenges of rebuilding his life in a post-war Iraq, the struggles of raising a family in a country still plagued by violence, and the search for hope in a world that seems to have lost its way.

Baghdad Burning II is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the human cost of war. It is a story of courage, resilience, and hope, told by a man who has lived through some of the most difficult times in recent history.
