Havens of defeat

Author's name: Hani Al-Fakikidar Publication: Sutur for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2022 Literary classification: Human Sciences Brief about the book: I hesitated a lot before starting to write the chapters of this book, and I kept the pen away from my hand several times. I wondered about the usefulness of removing the dust from old notebooks of experiences, especially those whose events have been forgotten, and whose life incidents and details have been surpassed. Moreover, I am a witness to some of those events and not their creator. What increased my hesitation was that feeling of responsibility towards myself and in front of others, who accompanied me for a while and I accompanied them, because of the crimes and mistakes committed by Iraqi political movements and their parties, including the Baath. Whether from the position of opposition or ruling, our Iraqi people and our Arab peoples paid a price for it with their blood, progress, and security.
