"Baghdad is Burning" takes the 2003 Iraq War as the background, and weaves a long scroll of human nature in the flames of war through multiple perspectives such as U. S. Soldiers, Iraqi doctors, intelligence officers, war reporters and ordinary civilians. From the "shock and fear" air raids to the chaos and rebellion after the fall of Baghdad, the novel writes in epic terms the ruthlessness of the war machine, the collapse of the dictatorship, and the dignity and tragedy of ordinary people struggling to survive in the ruins. This is not only a novel about war, but also a mirror that reflects the fragility and resilience of human civilization.
Purpose: Through the complete course of the Iraq War, complete an epic reflection on the nature of war, the complexity of human nature, and the fragility of civilization.
