From the AP:
A vivid account of life inside Baghdad’s Green Zone won Britain’s richest nonfiction book prize on Monday.
“Imperial Life in the Emerald City,” by Rajiv Chandrasekaran, bureau chief in Baghdad for The Washington Post from April 2003 to October 2004, took the $60,000 Samuel Johnson Prize for Nonfiction.
The book paints a picture of waste, incompetence and thwarted intentions within the Coalition Provisional Authority appointed to run U.S.-occupied Iraq after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.
