This review is from: Baghdad: The Bradt City Guide (Bradt Mini Guide) (Paperback)

I had two copies of this book with me while in Iraq and I made sure to give one copy to someone who would make good use of it. I found most of the contact indformation to be quite up-to-date while I was there in 2005 but of course things can change quickly over there. The book even provided some good background info and photos. Its small format makes it perfect for carrying in an ACU or DCU pocket.
