The Flavors of Iraq is a groundbreaking graphic novel that delves into the human suffering and the impact of the embargo and the Iraq War on Iraq. Authored by French-Iraqi journalist Feurat Alani, the book is presented as a series of one thousand tweets, each capturing Alani's experiences in Iraq from 1989 to 2011. Through these tweets, Alani vividly describes the colors, tastes, and smells of Iraq, as well as the sounds, silences, and smells of the war that claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians.

Illustrated by the striking art of Léonard Cohen, The Flavors of Iraq offers a poetic and powerful narrative that sheds light on the oppression faced by the Iraqi population, the illegal nature of the war, and the tragic consequences of the conflict. The book serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of documenting and acknowledging the experiences of oppressed populations and the devastating effects of illegal wars.

With its innovative format and powerful storytelling, The Flavors of Iraq has received critical acclaim and has been recognized with numerous awards. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of the Middle East and the ongoing struggles of the Iraqi people.
