In the foreword of Baghdad Burning it presents us to the purpose of the book. It's about a young girl who writes a blog about the entire Iraq war. She writes and defends her culture and even describes how it is similar. Why anti-Americanism is basically not fair, and how much it angers people in her culture. It brings up how there is politics in this book and about the invasion itself on May 7th 2004. The book should pinpoint all the shame that the imperialists bent the minds of the Iraqis. This book makes for painful reading, it describes all of the harsh times that both Iraqi people have to deal with and even American soldiers. It shows insight to the pain and harships that the Iraq's have to go through.
In the introduction it basically goes into more detail about where she is from, how she got to make a blog and what she writes in those blog posts. Gives much more information about her life and background of why the war even started. I feel that this is a very good read, gives so much more insight on how they must feel, and how we take for granted how the war is not in our country. This will be able to tell us how she must have felt and how she dealt with the war, she writes about everyday occurances and it helps america understand.
