The astonishing story of the soldiers, conservationists, and ordinary Iraqis who united to save the animals of the Baghdad ZooWhen the Iraq war began, conservationist Lawrence Anthony could think of only one thing: the fate of the Baghdad Zoo, caught in the crossfire at the heart of the city. Once Anthony entered Iraq he discovered that hostilities and uncontrolled looting had devastated the zoo and its animals. Working with members of the zoo staff and a few compassionate U.S. soldiers, he defended the zoo, bartered for food on wartorn streets, and scoured bombed palaces for desperately needed supplies.Babylon's Ark chronicles Anthony's hairraising efforts to save a pride of Saddam's lions, close a deplorable blackmarket zoo, run ostriches through shoottokill checkpoints, and rescue the dictator's personal herd of Thoroughbred Arabian horses. A tale of the selfless courage and humanity of a few men and women living dangerously for all the right reasons, Babylon's Ark is an inspiring and uplifting truelife adventure of individuals on both sides working together for the sake of magnificent wildlife caught in a war zone.
