description: A New York Times Bestseller Garrels narrative starts with several trips she made to Baghdad before the war, beginning in October 2002. At its heart is her evolving relationship with her Iraqi driver/minder, Amer, who becomes her friend and confidant, often serving as her eyes and ears among the populace and taking her where no other reporter was able to penetrate. Amer's own strong reactions and personal dilemma provide a trenchant counterpoint to daily events. The result is enthralling, deeply personal, and utterly authentic -- an on-the-ground picture of the war in Iraq that no one else could have written.
