CREDITS

Judy Van Wyk
Musings of an Iraqi Patriot traces one man’s journey from a life as an accomplished artist and journalist in Baghdad to that of a reluctant refugee in Burlington, North Carolina.
Forced to flee the ongoing violence in Iraq, Ahmed Fadaam knows he’s one of the lucky ones. Still, he’s haunted by the disintegration of his beloved homeland.
Eloquent and thoughtful, Ahmed gives voice to the millions of ordinary Iraqis whose lives have been irrevocably upended by more than a decade of war.
