Babylon's Ark by Lawrence Anthony
When the Iraq war began, the Baghdad Zoo, located in the city centre, was caught in the war's crossfire. This title chronicles the zoo's transformation from bombed-out rubble to peaceful park. It recounts hair-raising efforts to save a pride of the dictator's lions, close a deplorable black-market zoo, and rescue Saddam's Arabian horses.Lawrence Anthony (1950-2012) established the Thula Thula wildlife reserve in Zululand, South Africa, formed The Lawrence Anthony Foundation, and received the United Nations' Environment Day award for his efforts to conserve the Baghdad Zoo's animals. Graham Spence is an editor and journalist. He was born in South Africa and now resides in England. They're the authors of Babylon's Ark: The Remarkable Wartime Rescue of the Baghdad Zoo and The Elephant Whisperer: My Life with the Herd in the African Wild, both of which they wrote together.
