International Law

As a journalist based in Baghdad for Time magazine and then CNN, Michael Ware achieved international acclaim for his reporting of the war in Iraq.  His reporting was a brutally honest and uncompromising record of how the war ravaged both the people of Iraq, and the soldiers that were fighting the war.  Despite surviving being kidnapped and threatened, Ware did not emerge unscarred, as he now suffers from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).  He has now returned to Brisbane, where he grew up and attended school (Brisbane Grammar School) and university (University of Queensland, where he studied law and political science), to write a book about his experiences and to recover from his PTSD.

In an excellent interview this morning on ABC local radio Brisbane, Madonna King chatted to Ware about his time in Iraq.  You can read about that interview here, or listen to it here.
