Description

A gripping and unflinching account of life in Baghdad during the Iraq War, as seen through the eyes of a young journalist. Michael Hastings recounts his experiences covering the conflict for Newsweek, from the chaos and violence of the front lines to the personal costs of war on those closest to him. Hastings' story is intertwined with that of his girlfriend, Andi Parhamovich, who joins him in Iraq and becomes embroiled in a deadly mission. The book offers a unique perspective on this new kind of war, where private security companies operate outside the law and soldiers face constant threats from their own families. Through his writing, Hastings conveys the sense of disorientation and fear that characterized life in Baghdad during this period. His account is both a personal memoir and a historical record of one of the most tumultuous periods in modern history.
