Director of the Iraqi National Library on Rebuilding Iraq
PBS' weekly news magazine, NOW, invites you to listen to an interview with with Saad Eskander, the Director of the Iraqi National Library and Archives, about the painstaking struggles he faced rebuilding a looted and burned library after the U.S. invasion in 2003. Eskander, who returned to Iraq after the war started, talks about how a modern, fully-staffed library was able to emerge under his leadership, and the dangerous challenges that remain.
