Baghdad Business School

‘Amusing and very brave’ – Forbes
Heyrick Bond Gunning was on the first civilian plane into Baghdad after the airport had been secured following the fall of Saddam Hussein.
Armed with a camp bed, some baked beans and $25,000 in cash, his mission was to establish a foothold for one of the world’s largest logistics businesses in one of the world’s most inhospitable markets.
Baghdad Business School charts the challenges, the characters and the comedy of trying to do business in a war zone. It also provides a unique perspective on the Iraq conflict and is proof of the adage that, the more you put into life, the more you get out of it.
