Waiting For An Ordinary Day

Farnaz Fassihi on "Waiting for an Ordinary Day: The Unraveling of Life in Iraq"

It was the email read around the world. Four years ago in September 2004, Farnaz Fassihi, an Iranian American correspondent in Iraq for the Wall Street Journal, sent a private email to family and friends that described the situation in Iraq more sincerely than her published newspaper articles ever could. She wrote, "One could argue that Iraq is already lost beyond salvation. For those of us on the ground it's hard to imagine what if any thing could salvage it from its violent downward spiral." She is author of the new book Waiting for an Ordinary Day: The Unraveling of Life in Iraq.
