Author Dr. Shakir Al-Janabi’s New Book, "Babylon to Brooklyn," Documents the Author’s Return to Iraq Following Practicing Medicine Abroad in England and America

Brooklyn, NY, July 26, 2024 --(PR.com)-- Dr. Shakir Al-Janabi, who has practiced medicine in Iraq, England, and the United States, has completed his new book, “Babylon to Brooklyn: A Life Journey,” a gripping memoir that tells the story of a self-made man who grew up in the depths of poverty and managed to overcome it in order to become a physician for President Saddam Hussein and his family.

In “Babylon to Brooklyn,” Dr. Al-Janabi reveals how, after working in England and traveling to the United States for postgraduate studies, he returned to his homeland of Iraq after a long absence driven by his love for his homeland and its people, especially the poor and destitute. He worked in Baghdad hospitals and developed his private practice until he was suddenly taken away to a remote, unknown detainment center where he was accused of participating in a plot to overthrow the government of Saddam Hussein in 1991. After many excruciating events, a miracle occurred, and he was released after the security forces subjected him to cruel and inhumane torture. After all this, he left his homeland of Iraq and returned to living in exile where the highly educated are revered as they should be.

University professor Yousif Mansoor Alkatib writes: “Dr. Shakir Al-Janabi addresses in this book many events that took place in Iraq since the 1940s and until the first decade of the twenty-first century. He discusses the country’s political and military issues by virtue of his employment for years as an army doctor and his many high-level acquaintances in the fields of the military, politics, and science. He addresses his predicaments with these issues with honesty and literary boldness.”
