Description

Prize-winning author and award-winning foreign correspondent Michael J. Totten returns with a riveting tour of some of the worst places on earth in the early 21st century.From crumbling Havana, Cuba-still stubbornly communist decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall-to a comparatively upscale Hanoi, Vietnam, still struggling to free itself from Chinese-style authoritarian rule. From a nightmarish Libya under the deranged Moammar Qaddafi, to an exhausted, polarized and increasingly fanatical Egypt before the Arab Spring finally ripped the region to pieces. From the Lebanese border during the devasting war between Israel and Hezbollah, to Iraq in the grips of an insurgency mounted by the murderous precursor to ISIS. Partly a collection of Totten's best previously published work, Dispatches includes plenty of new material from Latin America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and the dysfunctional quarters of Europe. He goes to rough places so you don't have to, and his dispatches are by turns entertaining, harrowing and occasionally even hilarious despite the dark subject matter. Not to be missed. Praise for Michael J. Totten"Totten...practices journalism in the tradition of Orwell: morally imaginative, partisan in the best sense of the word, and delivered in crackling, rapid-fire prose befitting the violent realities it depicts." Sohrab Ahmari, Commentary"It is extremely rare to read such an accurate account of anything to which one was oneself a witness." - Christopher Hitchens, author of God is Not Great. "One of America's premier foreign correspondents." - Damien Penny, Seattle Post-Intelligencer"Of all the journalists now alive and writing in English, ther are few whose reporting interests me more than Michael Totten's-in fact, none that I can think of offhand." - Claire Berlinski, author of Menace in Europe"Michael J. Totten is one of a rare breed. Moving from front to front, he brings experience and context and the willingness to go where few men dare." - Michael Yon, Moment of Truth in Iraq
