Babylon's Ark: The Incredible Wartime Rescue of the Baghdad Zoo

by Lawrence Anthony and Graham Spence

From the publisher:
The amazing story of the soldiers, conservationists, and ordinary Iraqis who united to save the animals of the Baghdad Zoo

Woven through the narrative is Anthony's obvious love of animals and his anger at what they suffer at the hands of humans, lending a poignancy and immediacy to the story - Booklist
