PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A gripping memoir and vivid account of the preparation, siege and aftershocks of the American invasion of Baghdad by a news correspondent who stayed put though the war. Engel, an intrepid NBC correspondant who began reporting from Cairo in 1996 (and who speaks Arabic and understands life on the street in the Middle East), captures the horror, absurdity, and humor of the situation, conveying not just the blow-by-blow also how Iraqis view what is happening to their country. You might recognize the young ournalist from NBC Nightly News with Tom B.
