The Boy from Baghdad: My Journey from Waziriyah to Westminster

The first memoir from Nadhim Zahawi MP Born and raised in Baghdad, Nadhim Zahawi arrived in the UK aged 11, having been forced to flee Iraq with his family, under threat from Saddam Husseins regime. In this candid and poignant memoir, Nadhim vividly recalls his upbringing in the Middle East, his familys adjustment to their new life in Britain and his rise to Second Lord of the Treasury, one of the highest offices in his adoptive homeland. From his family home being repossessed in his teens to the incredible success of YouGov, and from the highs (and lows) of Jeffrey Archers mayoral campaign to overseeing Britains rollout as Minister for COVID Vaccine Deployment, every setback faced and hurdle cleared have reinforced Nadhims belief in the power of hard work and the benefits of an open, inclusive society. The Boy from Baghdad is the full and fascinating story of Nadhims personal, professional and political journey from Waziriyah to Westminster.
