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.
