A Soldier's Story
Born in 1885, Jafar Pasha Al-Askari played a colourful part in the events that led to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire during the First World War, and in the foundation of modern Iraq in the 1920s and 1930s. These memoirs shed a light on the days of Arab nationalism and on the creation of Iraq, as experienced by a mover of Iraqi independence.
