Winner of the 2005 "Los Angeles Times" Book Prize A "Washington Post Book World "Top Five Nonfiction Book of the Year"" A "Seattle Times" Top Ten Best Book of the Year A "New York Times" Notable Book of the YearIn 2003, "The Washington Post"'s Anthony Shadid went to war in Iraq, but not as an embedded journalist. Born and raised in Oklahoma, of Lebanese descent, Shadid, a fluent Arabic speaker, has spent the last three years dividing his time between Washington, D.C., and Baghdad. The only journalist to win a Pulitzer Prize for his extraordinary coverage of Iraq, Shadid is also the only writer to describe the human story of ordinary Iraqis weathering the unexpected impact of America's invasion and occupation. Through the moving stories of individual Iraqis, Shadid shows how Saddam's downfall paved the way not just for hopes of democracy but also for the importation of jihad and the rise of a bloody insurgency. "A superb reporter's book," wrote Seymour Hersh; "Night Draws Near" is, according to Mark Danner, "essential."

Book Description Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Trade Paperback. 418 pages. *** PUBLISHING DETAILS: ABC Books, Australia, 2006. *** CONDITION: This book is in very good condition. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: A reporter for The Washington Post, Anthony Shadid was sent to Iraq in March 2003, weeks before the US troops invaded. Fluent in Arabic and determined to capture the invasion's impact on Iraqis' everyday lives, he disappeared into the country's dangerous and divided worlds. Night Draws Near is the result of his experiences. Shadid tells his story through the lives of a number of Iraqis, including Karima, a mother, Ghani, a sculptor, and Wamidh, a professor. Skilfully weaving together a narrative of bombs and prayers, tradition, terror, and resilience, Shadid shows how Saddam's downfall paved the way not just for democracy but for the rise of a bloody insurgency that would victimise Iraqi citizens in ways few had foreseen. With rare empathy he reveals the hidden faces and subtle complexities of a conflict that will resonate around the world for generations to come. *** Quantity Available: 1.
