Author of 'Baghdad Bulletin,' May 26th

David Enders, the founder of the Baghdad Bulletin, the only English language newspaper to be printed in Baghdad during the war, will discuss his new book at Left of Center Bookstore.
At the age of 22, Michigan native David Enders opened and edited the Baghdad Bulletin, the only English language newspaper to be printed in Baghdad during the war in 2003. After many issues, the newspaper folded. Since then, Enders has reported in Iraq for the Nation, Mother Jones, the Independent of London, and the South China Morning Post. His articles have also appeared in the New Statesman, the Guardian, New York magazine, the Chronicle of Higher Education, and many others.

Enders will be at Left of Center Bookstore on Thursday May 26th to discuss his experiences and his new book, "Baghdad Bulletin: Dispatches on the American Occupation" (University of Michigan Press, 2005).

When: Thursday, May 26th 8:00 p.m., but people are encouraged to show up at around 7:30 p.m.

Praise:

"Reports from outside the bubble Americans have created for themselves in Iraq." –JOE SACCO, author of 'Safe Area Gorazde'

"Enders blows away the media fog of war." –NORMAN SOLOMON, author of 'War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death'

"I wrote my first piece for Baghdad Bulletin after visiting the mass graves at Al-Hilla in 2003. The Baghdad Bulletin was essential reading in the first few months after the end of the war. I handed that particular copy to Prime Minister Tony Blair. I am only sorry that I cannot read it anymore. David Enders and his team were brave, enterprising and idealistic." --RT. HON. ANN CLWYD, member of British Parliament.
