In 2003, The Washington Post's Anthony Shadid went to war in Iraq, but not as an embedded journalist. Born and raised in Oklahoma, of Lebanese descent, Shadid, a fluent Arabic speaker, has spent the last three years dividing his time between Washington, D.C., and Baghdad. The only journalist to win a Pulitzer Prize for his extraordinary coverage of Iraq, Shadid is also the only writer to describe 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 the way not just for hopes of democracy but also for the importation of jihad and the rise of a bloody insurgency. A superb reporter's book, wrote Seymour Hersh; Night Draws Near is, according to Mark Danner, essential.

Anthony Shadid (1968-2012), an unrivaled chronicler of the human tales behind the news, won notoriety and prizes for his front-page dispatches in the Washington Post from Iraq, including the Pulitzer Prize. He was the sole Arabic-speaking American reporter on the scene. He won his second Pulitzer as the New York Times' senior Middle East correspondent.
