A New York Times Notable Book of the YearIn 2003, The Washington Post's Anthony Shadid visited war in Iraq, however, not as an embedded journalist. Born and raised in Oklahoma, of Lebanese descent, Shadid, a fluent Arabic speaker, has spent the last 3 years dividing his time between Washington, D.C., and Baghdad. Really the only journalist to win a Pulitzer Prize for his extraordinary coverage of Iraq, Shadid is also the sole writer to spell it out 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 just how not just for hopes of democracy also for the importation of jihad and the rise of your bloody insurgency. "A superb reporter's book," wrote Seymour Hersh; Night Draws Near is, according to Mark Danner, "essential."
