Fisk begins his book with a description of the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. He describes the chaos and confusion of the early days of the war, and the way in which the Iraqi people were caught in the crossfire. He also details the human cost of the invasion, describing the deaths of civilians and the destruction of homes and businesses.

As the war continues, Fisk travels to different parts of Iraq, meeting with people from all walks of life. He talks to soldiers, civilians, and aid workers, and he gets a firsthand account of the impact of the war on their lives. He also witnesses the rise of the insurgency, and he reports on the violence and brutality that is becoming increasingly common.

The Hundred And One Days of Baghdad Journal is a powerful and disturbing book. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the true horrors of war.
