«Bagdad hôtel» is the war diary of journalist Alfonso Rojo, published by Gallimard in paperback (432 pages, in French).
Alfonso Rojo stayed in Baghdad during the fifty-five days of the Gulf War and recounted life at the Rashid Hotel, where diplomats, journalists, censors and pacifists coexist. With irony he describes the rationing and the bombings, the competition among correspondents and the informational manipulations of the conflict.
Translation from Spanish by Sam Liberman, with a foreword by Marcel Trillat. The book is part of Gallimard's Au vif du sujet collection.
For readers of journalistic chronicles and for those who want to know the Gulf War from the critical perspective of a correspondent.
