Baghdad Day to Day: Librarian’s Journal

"Baghdad Day to Day: Librarian’s Journal." New York Times / Patricia Cohen.
New York: New York Times Online, February 7th 2007.

"Dr. [Saad] Eskander said that a friend who works at the National Archives in Britain suggested he write a diary for an archivists’ Web site. “I was hesitant,” he wrote in an e-mail exchange yesterday. “I feared that people would not believe what I would say about our daily life and the state of total chaos and destruction prevailing in Baghdad.”
Finally, he agreed, because “I was in debt to my librarians and archivists, who have been working very hard and making all sorts of sacrifices to serve the cultural needs of the educated class of the country.”"

Bravo!
