SELECTED BY THE FINANCIAL TIMES AND DAUNTS BOOKS AS A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023WINNER OF THE EDWARD STANFORD TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024ONE OF PROSPECT'S POLITICS & REPORTAGE BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2023'Exquisite . . . A genuine, melancholy masterpiece' WILLIAM DALRYMPLE'A journalistic marvel' JAMES MEEK'A powerful, unforgettable book' NADIFA MOHAMMEDFrom Orwell Prize winning journalist Ghaith Abdul-Ahad comes a searing and nuanced biography of a lost IraqThis is the story of a people who once lived under the rule of a megalomaniac leader who shaped the state in his own image. Then one day, after yet another war, a foreign army invaded, toppled the leader, destroyed the state, and proceeded to invent a new country. This is the story of a people who watched with horror as their world fragmented into a hundred different cities, as walls rose between them and bodies piled in the streets.

From the American invasion to the Arab Spring, ISIS and beyond, A Stranger in Your Own City offers a remarkable de-centring of the West in the history and contemporary situation of the region. What comes to the fore is the effect on the ground: the human cost, the shifting allegiances, the generational change.

'Shatters western assumptions . . . and offers cautious hope' The Observer'Haunting' Financial Times

I’m going through intensive medical treatments at the moment, so the very last thing I need to be worried about is doing dishes and using all my energy doing so. These plates have made my life so much easier! It is honestly a relief to have plates that are sturdy, provide enough room for a good portion, and don’t cost too much. Genuinely grateful!

Holds a lot of food well
Style: 28oz, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
I used these plates for a very large party. Great quality and holds food good due to being a deep plate. Didn't seem flimsy and no leak through that I could tell.

Extra large paper bowls are sturdy, affordable, and make clean up a breeze.
Style: 28oz, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
I like the convenience of paper plates and these large deep dish plates are perfect for microwave cooking. They handle large dinners, pasta, stuffing and vegetables with no problems and without any leaking, and are a good value for the price. They look stylish and make clean up less of a chore. You can't go wrong with Dixie paper products. They're sturdy, fun, and last through the meal.
