"In the spring of 2003, a pride of 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, [this book] raises questions about the true meaning of liberation: can it be given, or is it earned only through self-determination and sacrifice?
