two decades in the Middle East
First-hand account of NBC's chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel's two decades of reporting stories of the Middle East revolutions, the Arab Spring, war, and terrorism seen up-close--sometimes dangerously so. Over two decades Engel has been under fire, blown out of hotel beds, and taken hostage. He has watched Mubarak and Morsi in Egypt arrested and condemned, reported from Jerusalem, been through the Lebanese war, covered the whole shooting match in Iraq, interviewed Libyan rebels who toppled Gaddafi, reported from Syria as Al-Qaeda stepped in, and was kidnapped in the Syrian cross currents of fighting. He goes into Afghanistan with the Taliban and to Iraq with ISIS.
