Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iraq is a sophisticated, secular country that has been known as the cradle of civilization for 5,000 years. Yet for Westerners fed on CNN, the country is a desert populated by Republican Guards, looting mobs and wailing women. The stories of real Iraqis are rarely heard. Dancing in the No-Fly Zone gives them a voice.Hadani Ditmars has visited Iraq six times in as many years. A woman and an Arab, she can go places most war correspondents never see. Here she writes of her encounters with ordinary Iraqis, bowed but not broken, struggling to go to the theatre, run a hairdressing salon or buy goods on the black market.At one miraculous party during a bombing campaign, Ditmars saw an Iraqi journalist dance with an American reporter while government minders clapped them on. A people who have suffered so much yet can still dance deserve to be portrayed in the full depth of their humanity. It is this spirit that Ditmars captures in Dancing in the No-Fly Zone.
