From the only journalist to win a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting from Iraq, here is a riveting account of ordinary people caught between the struggles
of nations
Like her country, Karimaa widow with eight childrenwas caught between America and Saddam. It was March 2003 in proud but battered Baghdad. As night drew near, she took her son to board a rickety bus to join Husseins army. God protect you, she said, handing him something she could not afford to givethe thirty-cent fare.
The Washington Posts Anthony Shadid also went to war in Iraq although he was neither embedded with soldiers nor briefed by politicians. Because he is fluent in Arabic, Shadidan Arab American born and raised in Oklahomawas able to disappear into the divided, dangerous worlds of Iraq. Day by day, as the American dream of freedom clashed with Arab notions of justice, he pieced together the human story of ordinary Iraqis weathering the terrible dislocations and tragedies of war.
Through the lives of men and women, Sunnis and Shiites, American sympathizers and outraged young jihadists newly transformed into martyrs, Shadid shows us the journey of defiant, hopeful, resilient Iraq. Moving from battle scenes to subdued streets enlivened only by the call to prayer, Shadid uses the experiences of his characters to illustrate how Saddams downfall paved the way not only for democracy but also for an Islamic reawakening and jihad.
Night Draws Nearas compelling as it is humanis an illuminating and poignant account from a repoter whose coverage has drawn international attention and acclaim.
