Item description from seller

352 pages. From 2002 to 2006, Mark Willacy was the ABC's Middle East Correspondent, based i n Jerusalem. His apartment sat perched over the Hinnon Valley, the Biblical Vall ey of Hell , a fact that seemed aptly symbolic given that his tour in the Middle East saw him observe first-hand some of the most dramatic and violent events of the 21st century ? from the second Palestinian Intifada to the US invasion of Iraq and the vicious insurgency that followed.His account of these four turbulent years is personal, informed and utterly riveting. From the horror of witnessing the results of suicide bombings first-hand, to clandestine interviews with some of the Middle East's most-wanted terrorist leaders, to surreal cricke t matches played behind concrete blast walls and fortifications in Baghdad, Mark captures the human dimension of the Middle East's tragedies, revealing what it really means to live through events we only read as news stories. With compassio n, humanity, and a leavening of humour, The View from the Valley of Hell takes y ou behind the headlines and into the heart of the most volatile and important re gion in the world today.Between July 2002 and July 2006, Mark reported f rom Israel, the Palestinian Territories, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Morocco, Iran, Leb anon, Turkey, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and the Persian Gulf (o nboard HMAS Melbourne and HMAS Kanimbla).
