Product Description
Book Description
Determined to deliver the whole Middle East story, ABC news reporter Engel moved to Cairo in 1996, having learnt "street" Arabic. Then in order to dig himself even deeper into the complicated powder-keg of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he settled in Jerusalem. Now as Iraq enters its post-war phase and the Gulf region continues to dominate the news, Engel's analytical and anecdotal account cuts through the spin of big budget news reporting to tell it like it is, from the point of view of someone on the ground who is in touch with the reality of what is happening.

Synopsis
When war broke out in Iraq, every major U.S. network pulled its correspondents from the scene. Despite the risk, Richard Engel stayed. As tanks entered Baghdad in April 2003, he was there, bringing the Iraqi war into American homes for ABC news. Determined to deliver the whole Middle East story, Engel moved to Cairo in 1996 after graduating to learn "street" Arabic. Then to dig even deeper into the complicated powder-keg of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he settled in Jerusalem. Now as Iraq enters its post-war phase and the Gulf region continues to dominate the nation's consciousness, more and more Americans are coming to know and trust Richard Engel - especially in his current role as a correspondent for NBC Nightly News. 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.

THE TANK SHELL THAT SMASHED into the Palestine Hotel sent bits of concrete pouring down onto the roof of a tent, where I'd been sitting, urgently discussing with my friend Ismail how we could stay safe on this, the heaviest day of the fighting we'd seen in Baghdad. Read the first page
