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.
