recommends it for:
Any one that would like to know more abnout the Middle East.
This book was just absolutely fascinating to me. It’s about a journalist’s story of during and before the Iraq war. It gave me a real insight on the Middle East. But since he was only in Bagdad during the war, his report on the war was a bit narrow but otherwise great. Very interesting and well written, I enjoyed it immensely.

He is very open & honest about what's really going on in Iraq & how this war has affected him & his relationships with family, friends, & ex-wife (due to the stress resulting from his time in Iraq, his marriage ended in divorce). He really does know how to affect readers in a deeply profound way.

I read this while I was waiting to read his latest book. He is a report in Iraq at the beginning of the war. Very real and interesting. Well written.
