Baghdad Bulletin: Dispatches on the American Occupation
David Enders

David Enders is a 24 year-old independent journalist who moved to Baghdad during the war in Iraq to open the only English language newspaper written, printed, and distributed there during the war. He writes about his time spent working with the newspaper in "Baghdad Bulletin: Dispatches on the American Occupation." The book chronicles his experiences as a journalist with press credentials covering the war from outside the territory of the coalition-controlled Green Zone, and gives a first-hand account of life for Iraqi civilians during the war. Mr. Enders tells stories of hiring a local Iraqi to act as a house manager for his staff, having guns held to his head, and of daily civilian interaction with coalition forces.

Author Bio: David Enders was the editor of the Michigan Daily, the campus newspaper at the University of Michigan. He has reported for the BBC and his work has appeared in Rolling Stone, Mother Jones, and the Nation.
