Baghdad Bulletin: Dispatches on the American Occupation

Baghdad Bulletin is a street-level account of the war and turbulent post-war period as seen through the eyes of the young independent journalist David Enders.

The book recounts Enders's storv of his decision to go to lrag, where he opened the only English-language newspaper completely written, printed, and distributed there during the war.

Young, courageous, and anti-authoritarian. Enders is the first reporter to cover the war as experienced by ordinary Iragis. Deprived of the press credentials that gave his
embedded colleagues access to press conferences and officially sanitized information, Enders tells the storv of a different war, outside the Green Zone.

It is a story in which the struggle of everyday life is interspersed with moments of sheer terror and bizarre absurdity: wired American troops train their guns on terrified civilians; Iragi musicians prepare a recital for Coalition officials who never show:
traveling clowns wreak havoc in a Baghdad police station.
