When the Iraq war began, conservationist Lawrence Anthony could think of only one thing: the fate of the Baghdad Zoo, caught in the crossfire at the heart of the city. Once Anthony entered Iraq, he discovered that hostilities and uncontrolled looting had devastated the zoo and its animals. Working with members of the zoo staff and a few compassionate U.S. soldiers, Anthony defended the zoo, bartered for food on war-torn streets, and scoured bombed palaces for desperately needed supplies.

Babylon's Ark chronicles Anthony's hair-raising efforts to save a pride of Saddam's lions, close a deplorable black-market zoo, run ostriches through shoot-to-kill checkpoints, and rescue the dictator's personal herd of Thoroughbred Arabian horses.

Great narrator and inspiring story. I felt like I was there in Baghdad along with the zoo workers as they struggled to save these animals amidst a war zone. You won’t regret this purchase.

Highly Recommend.

I cannot say enough how inspiring and astonishing this man's life was. Dedicated to the animals and enriching theirs and our lives.

Another Lawrence Anthony heroic journey.

Loved it. Such a shame he wasn’t able to write more books. I’ve read the elephant whisperer a dozen times and this is my first for this book. I’ll happily listen again.

Lawrence was a lovely writer.
