Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 352
From 2002 to 2006, Mark Willacy was the ABC's Middle East Correspondent, based in Jerusalem. His apartment sat perched over the Hinnon Valley, the Biblical "Valley of Hell"; a fact that seemed aptly symbolic given that his tour in the Middle East saw him observe first-hand some of the most dramatic and violent events of the 21st century - from the second Palestinian Intifada to the US invasion of Iraq and the vicious insurgency that followed. His account of these four turbulent years is personal, informed and utterly riveting. From the horror of witnessing the results of suicide bombings first-hand, to clandestine interviews with some of the Middle East's most-wanted terrorist leaders, to surreal cricket matches played behind concrete blast walls, Mark captures the human dimension of the Middle East's tragedies.
