Acclaimed Journalist Dahr Jamail Tours the United Kingdom and Ireland, April 7-12 "While so much reporting from Iraq has remained embedded and wrong, Dahr Jamail's courageous truth-telling from the frontline has been a beacon." —John Pilger Acclaimed Journalist Dahr Jamail Tours the United Kingdom and Ireland, April 7-12 Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq "While so much reporting from Iraq has remained embedded and wrong, Dahr Jamail's courageous truth-telling from the frontline has been a beacon." —John Pilger "Essential for anybody who wants to know what is really happening in Iraq. A book which reports what Iraqis endure and what has happened to them during the occupation." —Patrick Cockburn, foreign correspondent, The Independent, author, The Occupation "From the earliest days of the war, Jamail has been a human conduit for the voices of Iraqis living under U.S. occupation. In the face of tremendous personal risk, his commitment to the crucial, principled task of bearing witness has never wavered, and this extraordinary book is the result." —Naomi Klein, author, The Shock Doctrine and No Logo IN LATE 2003, weary of the overall failure of the US media to accurately report on the realities of the war, Dahr Jamail embarked to Iraq to report on the war himself. His unembedded dispatches were quickly recognized as an important media resource, featuring exclusive, on-the-ground coverage of the major events of the early occupation. Jamail spent a total of 8 months in occupied Iraq, as one of only a few independent US journalists in the country, and has also reported extensively from Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. Jamail now writes for the Inter Press Service, The Asia Times and many other outlets, with reports published in the Nation, The Sunday Herald, Islam Online, the Guardian, Foreign Policy in Focus, and the Independent.
