If you read one memoir in the next year, I urge you to make it this one. Salbi writes of her childhood in a comfortable and loving Iraqi family. Her mother was a teacher and her father a commercial pilot. All that changed when Saddam Hussein chose her father to be his pilot.

Most of us have no clue what it was really like to live in Iraq under the Saddam Hussein and even most Iraqis have no idea what it meant to be part of his inner circle. It wasn't a free pass for families like the Salbis, it meant that they were virtual prisoners and constantly experienced his reign of terror first hand.
