Brilliant Journaling

Baghdad Bulletin is a fantastic collection of entries of one journalist's experiences. It provides enlightening insight into current political and military struggles.

David Enders Has A Vital Independent Streak

Who are the insurgents? There are radicals, mercenaries, bank looters, conservatives, old government leaders and more. Kurdistan is safer and is already a defacto independent country. Portions of southern Iraq have also set up some beginnings of independence. Most of the turmoil is in central Iraq. The author has written a vital independent book covering the war and insurgency in Iraq. If you want to really know what is going on there, this book is a big plus.

Gutsy and honest

The author of this book is our only published source of info. from this angle of the Iraq war, which is so crucial. I appreciate the fact that he is not pretentious like most journalists who try to be erudite human thesauruses, but uses his true, raw but articulate voice to give us a glimpse of what the situation was like. We need more of these insider views of Iraq, especially from those who had the guts to step outside the rope instead of only going where they have to in order to get a basic, vague story. Thanks for putting yourself in the line of fire so the world could understand what it's like.
