Written in English, the blog provided firsthand observations of the political and social climate in Baghdad, offering a perspective that contrasted with mainstream media coverage. Initially anonymous, the blogger was later identified as Salam Abdulmunem, an Iraqi architect. His posts covered a range of topics, including daily life under Saddam Hussein’s regime, the impact of the war, and the challenges faced by civilians in a conflict zone. The blog attracted a global readership and was subsequently compiled into a book.
