«Los mongoles en Bagdad» is the essay by José Luis Sampedro, published by Booket in paperback, with 208 pages, in Spanish.
A retired professor preparing a text on the invasion of Iraq receives a visit from Ogatal, an old Mongolian friend and professor of Eastern history. The encounter draws parallels between the sack of Baghdad in 1258 and the 2003 war. Sampedro thus denounces the contradictions and lies spread by the press during the war and postwar period in Iraq.
«Los mongoles en Bagdad» belongs to Booket's «Actualidad» collection, was published in January 2005, and includes illustrations by Santiago Sequeiros.
For readers interested in critical essays on the Iraq war and in denouncing official discourses.

Academician of the Real Academia Española since 1990, he was the recipient of the Order of Arts and Letters of Spain, the Menéndez Pelayo International Prize (2010) and the Spanish Literature National Prize (2011). He became an inspiration for the anti-austerity movement in Spain.
