Both analytical and anecdotal, this book leads readers through the war in Iraq, dissecting a whole host of Middle East issues, all from the vantage point of someone who is 'on the ground and in the streets' to get the real story.
A behind-the-scenes overview of the conflict in Iraq discusses the situation in the Middle East before, during, and after the war and provides an incisive analysis of the issues confronting the region, now and in the future, and their implications for the global community. 75,000 first printing.
Richard Engel graduated in 1996. From 1996 to 2003 he reported on Middle East affairs for the BBC and the Voice of America. Currently on assignment as a reporter on Middle East affairs for NBC, he appears regularly on the evening news in America.
"Engel...manages to convey an accurate, balanced portrayal of Iraq both during the war and after. As a result, this book might restore some of the public's lost faith in journalism." - Publishers Weekly"
