DAHR JAMAIL

Presents his new book
_Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches From an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq_

As the occupation of Iraq unravels, the demand for independent reporting is growing. Since 2003, unembedded journalist Dahr Jamail has filed indispensable reports from Iraq that have made him this generation's chronicler of the unfolding disaster there. In these collected dispatches, Jamail presents never-before-published details of the siege of Fallujah and examines the origins of the Iraqi insurgency.

In addition to his time in Iraq, Jamail has also reported from Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan, writing for the Inter Press Service, _Asia Times_, and many other outlets. His reports have been published in _The Nation_, the _Sunday Herald_, the _Guardian_, _Foreign Policy in Focus_, and _The Independent_, among other publications. On radio as well as television, Jamail has reported for "Democracy Now!" and numerous other programs around the globe.

Copies of _Beyond the Green Zone_ will be available for purchase and signing.

"Dahr Jamail does us a great service, by taking us past the lies of our political leaders, past the cowardice of the mainstream press, into the streets, the homes, the lives of Iraqis living under U.S. occupation. He is a superb journalist." -Howard Zinn, author, _A People’s History of the United States_

"While so much reporting from Iraq has remained embedded and wrong, Dahr Jamail’s courageous truth-telling from the frontline has been a beacon." -John Pilger, journalist and author, _Freedom Next Time_
