Book Review of Babylon by Bus: Or, the true story of two friends who gave up their valuable franchise selling YANKEES SUCK T-shirts at Fenway to find meaning and adventure in Iraq,

reviewed on


This book is an unprecedented view of life inside Baghdad in early 2004. While no one will argue Ray and Jeff's actions were idiotic, I'm glad they took that trip. Hearing the true story of life in the Green Zone really opened my eyes to the chaos and unrest that we have created in Iraq. They are non-political in their writing but I really think that makes a statement of its own.
