well written and interesting submitted by atpierce on June 18, 2021, 11:21pm An interesting story set during the First Gulf War, told from the perspective of a child growing up in Basra. Years later that child later became an interpreter during Saddam Hussein's trial. A quick read, but well written, and should hold anyone's interest throughout.
