The story told in this book demonstrates that one person can make a difference. I very much enjoyed reading about the author's efforts to save the zoo animals in Iraq, and the book was full of likeable humans too. Subtracting half a star because in the acknowledgements he pays tribute to L. Ron Hubbard and confirmed in an interview with The Guardian that he is a Scientologist, and that is weird.

I loved this book! It really is an incredible wartime story of the bravery, initiative, and dedication of one man to try and save the abandoned animals at the Baghdad zoo after the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Lawrence Anthony is a man of courage and his intense devotion to animals comes through in this story. I couldnt put it down.
