An inventory of the General Security headquarters in central Baghdad reveals an obscure manuscript. Written by a young man in detention, the prose moves from prison life, to adolescent memories, to frightening hallucinations, and what emerges is a portrait of life in Saddam Hussein's Iraq.

In the tradition of Kafka's The Trial or Orwell's 1984, I'jaam offers insight into life under an oppressive political regime and how that oppression works. This is a stunning debut by a major young Iraqi writer-in-exile.

Sinan Antoon has been published in leading international journals and has co-directed About Baghdad, an acclaimed documentary about Iraq under US occupation.

Fantastic Book
Format: Paperback
This book is the one of the best law school books of all time. It is easy to read, the cases are consistently and intelligently abridged, and the price is very affordable. Also, the material fits pretty much perfectly within one semester. It’s very good for those who prefer to “teach from the book,” but it also leaves room to go beyond it if you wish. If you are teaching Criminal Procedure, I cannot recommend this book enough.

The Best Supplements for Law School
Format: Paperback
These books are worth the money! I know law school books are expensive, but if you're struggling with a certain area of law, forget the price and buy Examples & Explanations. They all come with great practice essay questions and answers, as well as explain concepts in normal-people speak (unlike most law school casebooks).
