Anthony Shadid on Qatar

In In the Media, Interviews

Anthony talks to The Global Dispatches about Qatar

There has been a flurry of articles about Qatar’s “empire building” recently. Is this the correct way to describe what is happening in Qatar?

House of Stone Review from Dave Eggers

In House of Stone, Reviews

“Six pages into this book, I said to myself, if Anthony Shadid continues like this, this book will be a classic. And page by page, he did continue, and he wrote a honest-to-God, hands-down, undeniable and instant classic. This is a book about war, and terrible loss, and a troubled region, and his own [...]

“I was captivated, instantly”: Dave Cullen

In House of Stone, Reviews

“I was captivated, instantly, by Anthony Shadid’s lushly evocative prose. Crumbling Ottoman outposts, doomed pashas, and roving bandits feel immediate, familiar, and relevant. Lose yourself in these pages, where empires linger, grandparents wander, and a battered Lebanon beckons us home. Savor it all. If Márquez had explored nonfiction, Macondo would feel as real as Marjayoun.” [...]

Across Divide in Iraq, a Sunni Courts Shiites

In Articles, Journalism

RAMADI, Iraq — In the unforgiving badlands of western Iraq’s Anbar Province, once a cradle of the insurgency and now a muddled landscape of corruption, simmering strife and spirited electoral campaigning, no one seems ready to pardon Hamid al-Hais.

Mr. Hais is a sheik, a title that conveys his tribal pedigree. But that title is [...]

In Assad’s Syria, There Is No Imagination

In Articles, Journalism

The House of Assad evokes an imperial sense of power, or at least its trappings, with iconography that one scholar described as infused with “laudatory slogans and sempiternal images.”

But my first impression of Rami Makhlouf, President Bashar al-Assad’s cousin and one-time confidante, was of his unassuming quality. Here was a tycoon, a figure as [...]

  • A note from Nada Bakri

    "I do not approve of and will not be a part of any public discussion of Anthony's passing. It does nothing but sadden Anthony's children to have to endure repeated public discussion of the circumstances of their father's death."
    –Nada Bakri, wife of the late Anthony Shadid
