- The startlingly original look at life on the streets of Baghdad during the
Iraq War inspired by true events arrives in a stunning new hardcover edition. In

lions escaped from the Baghdad Zoo during an American bombing raid. Lost and
confused, hungry but finally free, the four lions roamed the decimated streets
of Baghdad in a desperate struggle for their lives. In documenting the plight of
the lions, Pride of Baghdad raises questions about the true meaning of
liberation: Can it be given, or is it earned only through self-determination and
sacrifice? And in the end, is it truly better to die free than to live life in
captivity? - This new Deluxe Edition hardcover presents the original graphic novel, plus
developmental art and more.
