Non-Fiction Memoir
As National Public Radio's Much-Loved and respected senior foreign correspondent, Anne Garrels has covered conflicts in Chechnya, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq. In Naked in Baghdad she reveals how as one of only sixteen non-embedded journalists who stayed in the now-legendary Palestine Hotel throughout the American invasion she managed to deliver the most immediate, insightful, and independent reports with unparalleled vividness and immediacy. Her evolving relationship with her Iraqi driver/minder, Amer, and the wonderful e-mail bulletins sent to friends by her husband, Vint Lawrence, counterpoint the daily events of her life in Baghdad, and result in a deeply moving and intimate portrait by one of our bravest and most enlightening news reporters.
