For much of its extraordinary life Baghdad, the 'City of Peace', has been one of the most violent cities on earth. Justin Marozzi brings to life its whole tumultuous history - as imperial capital, marvel of glittering palaces, thriving centre of learning, home of tyrants and slaves - through thirteen centuries of splendour and destruction. 'A splendid new history . . . Marozzi gets to the unchanging soul of his city.' Christopher de Bellaigue, Guardian 'Vivid and compelling . . . the best account we have of the long story of the development and survival of this remarkable city.' Hugh Kennedy, Literary Review 'Adventurous, sophisticated, respectful . . . Marozzi loves the place, and succeeds magnificently in making us love it with him . . . a truly splendid work of erudition, storytelling and humanity.' Bartle Bull, Standpoint
