In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the United States launched a massive invasion of Iraq. The war that followed was one of the most controversial and costly in American history. Amidst the chaos and violence, a small group of American diplomats and soldiers worked tirelessly to keep the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad running.

In his new book, What It Was Really Like at the Embassy in Iraq, John Doe, a former U.S. diplomat, provides a gripping and revealing account of life inside the embassy during the height of the war. Doe's firsthand experiences offer a unique perspective on the challenges and dangers faced by those who served in Iraq.

The book begins with Doe's arrival in Baghdad in 2004. The city was in chaos, and the embassy was under constant threat of attack. Doe and his colleagues lived in a heavily fortified compound, and they rarely ventured outside its walls. Even inside the embassy, they were never truly safe. In 2005, a car bomb exploded outside the embassy, killing five people and injuring dozens more.

Despite the dangers, Doe and his colleagues remained committed to their mission. They worked tirelessly to provide support to the Iraqi government and to help the Iraqi people rebuild their country. They also played a key role in the planning and execution of the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq in 2011.

What It Was Really Like at the Embassy in Iraq is a powerful and moving account of the challenges and sacrifices faced by those who served in Iraq. Doe's book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the true cost of the war.
