Summary of Lawrence Anthony & Graham Spence's Babylon's Ark

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was allowed to enter Iraq, and when the border guard saw that I was bringing supplies into the country, he gave me a permit. But my two Kuwaiti assistants were afraid that the Iraqi soldiers would target them as Arabs, so they stole their plates.

#2 I knew that being a neutral South African would not help me when it came to dealing with Iraqi gunmen. I was a visible Westerner, and as far as Saddam’s Baathist fanatics were concerned, any foreigner would do.

#3 I felt dread creep into my belly. The atmosphere in Iraq hung like a pall, and it had tempered the enthusiasm of my companions. As it had mine.

#4 After driving through the biblical landscape of Iraq, we finally reached the outer periphery of Baghdad. We asked for directions to the zoo, and an Iraqi pointed ahead. Al Zawra Park, he said. We were entering the belly of the beast.
