A propos de cet article

316 p. Maps. Illustrations. [Title continues] qualification and witnessed much that amazed and disturbed them. Neumann and Lemoiner describe how they became the "Hawkeye Pierce and Trapper John MacIntyre of the Iraq War"--two young American gonzos who came to help, joined the Coalition Provisional Authority, and witnessed enough corruption, confusion and brutality to fill the pages of a very good book. Very good in very good dust jacket. DJ has some soiling and edge wear.

Biographie de l'auteur

Ray LeMoine dropped out of Northeastern University in 1999 and spent the next five years running the "Yankees Suck" T-shirt operation outside Fenway Park. As CEO, he was based everywhere from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to Spain's Basque region to Revere, Massachusetts. In early 2004, he traveled to Baghdad with Jeff Neumann to help spread freedom and democracy. He lives in New York.
Jeff Neumann worked as a volunteer NGO coordinator for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad in early 2004 after several failed attempts at becoming a professional poker player. He currently resides in New York City and continues to travel as much as possible while trying to stay out of third-world jails.
Donovan Webster is an award-winning journalist and author. His work has appeared in The New Yorker, National Geographic, Vanity Fair, Smithsonian, and The New York Times Magazine, among other publications. He is currently employed as spiritual adviser and bail bondsman for Jeff Neumann and Ray LeMoine.
