"For one hundred and one days - from January until April 2003 - Asne Seierstad worked as a reporter in Baghdad for Scandinavian, German, and Dutch media. Through her articles and live television coverage she reported on the events in Iraq before, during, and after the attacks by the American and British forces. Always in search of a story far less obvious than the American military invasion, Seierstad now brings to life the world behind the headlines in this account of her time among the people of Iraq." The only woman in the world to cover both the fall of Kabul in 2001 and the bombings of Baghdad in 2003, Asne Seierstad redefines war reporting with her book - and puts a human face on a country still caught in a battle for peace.
