- Summary:
- Salam Pax attracted a huge worldwide readership for the Weblog, or Internet diary, he kept during the buildup, prosecution, and aftermath of the war in Iraq. "Where is Raed?," posted at http: //dear_raed.blogspot.com, provided an outlet for the incisive, perceptive, and at times hilarious commentary of an everyday Iraqi during the final days of Saddam Hussein's regime. Not a supporter of Saddam, Salam Pax recorded in his online journal the anticipation, resentment, amusement, and sheer terror he felt as he witnessed the demise of a long dictatorship and the chaos that followed its destruction. In doing so, the pseudonymous 29-year-old Iraqi engineer educated in Austria has become the voice of an Internet generation. This book collects the remarkably well-written entries of this Internet antihero who has come to be known as the "Baghdad Blogger."
