In 1997, young Richard Engel, working freelance for Arab news
sources, got a call that a busload of Italian tourists was
massacred at a Cairo museum. This is his first view of the carnage
these years would pile on. Over two decades he has been under fire,
blown out of hotel beds, and taken hostage. He has watched Mubarak
and Morsi in Egypt arrested and condemned, reported from Jerusalem,
been through the Lebanese war, covered the shooting match in Iraq
and the Libyan rebels who toppled Gaddafi, reported from Syria as
Al-Qaeda stepped in, and was kidnapped in the Syrian cross currents
of fighting. Engel takes the reader into Afghanistan with the
Taliban and to Iraq with ISIS. Engel takes chances, though not
reckless ones, keeps a level head and a sense of humour, as well as
a grasp of history in the making. Reporting as NBC's Chief-Foreign
Correspondent, he reveals his unparalleled access to the major
figures, the gritty soldiers, and the helpless victims in the
Middle East during this watershed time. His unforgettable view of
the suffering and despair of the local populations offers a
succinct and authoritative account of our ever-changing world.
