A WSJ bureau chief's memoir on Iraq

Editor & Publisher reports that Farnaz Fassihi, formerly an Iranian-American correspondent in Iraq for The Wall Street Journal, has penned a memoir called "Waiting for an Ordinary Day: The Unraveling of Life in Iraq," which will be published in September.
Now based in Lebanon, she is the deputy bureau chief of the Middle East and Africa for The Journal.
In the forthcoming book, Fassihi briefly revisits a famous e-mail she sent in 2004.
In the private e-mail, which was written while she was a correspondent and was leaked to journalists, she said, "Iraq remains a disaster." It sparked anger from some readers who felt that journalists were withholding the truth about the war. Others felt the e-mail exposed her bias.
About the book:

"In the foreword, Fassihi promises that the book offers a look at what it was like to be a young, female reporter covering this war. It does all of that and more, chronicling her day-to-day life, friendships, dangerous assignments and disappointments, from her early arrival to her departure in December 2005. The title of one section says a lot: "If They See Me With You, They'll Kill Me."
