Born and raised in Oklahoma, of Lebanese descent, Shadid, a fluent Arabic speaker, has spent the last three years dividing his time between Washington, D.C., and Baghdad. The only journalist to win a Pulitzer Prize for his extraordinary coverage of Iraq, Shadid is also the only writer to describe the human story of ordinary Iraqis weathering the unexpected impact of America's invasion and occupation. Through the moving stories of individual Iraqis, Shadid shows how Saddam's downfall paved the way not just for hopes of democracy but also for the importation of jihad and the rise of a bloody insurgency. A superb reporter's book, wrote Seymour Hersh; \u003ci\u003eNight Draws Near\u003c\/i\u003e is, according to Mark Danner, essential.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnthony Shadid \u003c\/b\u003ehas reported for the Associated Press, \u003ci\u003eThe Boston Globe, \u003c\/i\u003e and, since the beginning of the war in Iraq, \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e.
