Place reservation for The boy from Baghdad : my journey from Waziriyah to WestminsterNadhim Zahawi arrived in the UK aged 11, having been forced to flee Iraq with his family, under threat from Saddam Hussein's regime. In this candid and poignant memoir, Nadhim vividly recalls his upbringing in the Middle East, his family's 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 Archer's mayoral campaign to overseeing Britain's rollout as Minister for COVID Vaccine Deployment, every setback faced and hurdle cleared have reinforced Nadhim's belief in the power of hard work and the benefits of an open, inclusive society. This is the full and fascinating story of Nadhim's personal, professional and political journey from Waziriyah to Westminster.
