Riverbend, the Iraqi woman whose "articulate, even poetic prose packs an emotional punch"
(The New York Times), continues her dispatches from her native Baghdad.
Interweaving commentary on major events since October 2004 to March 2006, with compelling stories about her own life as well as her family's daily struggles, this is journalism from ground zero recording both occupation and insurgency.
Riverbend is the pseudonym of an Iraqi computer programmer who now lives with her family in Baghdad and whose identity remains concealed for her own protection. Her blog offers searing eyewitness accounts of the everyday realities on the ground, punctuated by astute analysis on the politics behind the events.
