يخبر الريحاني عن العراق وبغداد الف ليلة وليلة من خلال مشاهداته اثناء زيارته الى العراق في ثلاثينيات القرن الماضي. فهو يروي لنا التاريخ كما رآه في اثارها الباقية وسمعه من حكاوي الناس. يستعرض لنا الحضارات التي توالت على هذه البلاد واهلها، وصولا الى ثورة العشرين ونيل الاستقلال وتحقيق الوحدة وتشكيل المملكة الهاشمية العراقية، وملكها فيصل الاول.
Rihani explains about the history of Iraq through his observations during a visit in early 1930's, starting from its numerous civilizations, describing its people, going through the 1920 Iraqi Revolt and independence, to the establishment of the Hashemite Kingdom of Iraq and the coronation of King Faisal I.

يبحث الكتاب سبل تعزيز القومية العربية ونشر الاصلاح والعدل بين افراد وشعوب هذه الامة. والسبيل الى ذلك ليس بالتمسك بالهوية الطائفية او المذهبية ولكن باشاعة روح المسامحة والمؤاخاة بين افراد الوطن الواحد
فلا يقول احدهم انا مسلم او انا مسيحي او انا يهودي، ولكن انا لبناني او سوري او عراقي - فيأتي انتماء الوطن قبل المذهب والطائفة. كما يسلط الكتاب الضوء ايضا على اهمية التعليم للشباب، ولكن التعليم المرتكز على الوطنية وليس المذهبية. وضرورة الاستماع للاخر لتعزيز العدل والعمل على اصلاح ما فسد من النظام - ليس السياسي فقط وانما يشمل ذلك النظام الاقتصادي والاجتماعي ايضاً.
The book discusses enhancing nationalism, reform and justice across Arab nations. To achieve this aim, Rihani urges not to consider the aspect of sect or religion as the identity of individuals, as this can only lead to division and discrimination, but rather to maintain tolerance and brotherhood towards each other, the people of the Arab nation. Thus, as he describes it, no one should say I am a Jew, a Muslim or a Christian, but I am Lebanese, Syrian, or Iraqi - one's country is their identity not their religion or sect. The book also sheds light on the importance of education, especially for the younger generation, however Rihani encourages the type of education that is based on national notion not religious. The book highlights the importance of listening to one another, and to understand, as a way to apply justice, and reform the system - not only the political, but also the economic and social.
