Dahr Jamail is a fourth-generation Lebanese-American journalist, who worked as an independent American reporter in the Middle East. In late 2003, weary of the overall failure of the US media to accurately report on the realities of the war in Iraq for the Iraqi people, he went to the Middle East to report on the war himself. Dahr spent more than a year in Iraq, and has also re-ported from Syria, Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan. He has also reported extensively on veterans’ resistance against US foreign policy, and is now focusing on anthropogenic climate disruption and the environment.


Currently, Dahr lives in Port Townsend, when he is home. He is a feature writer for Truthout (http://truthout.org/) His stories have been published in The Guardian, The Nation, The Huffington Post, and Al Jazeera, among others. In January, 2019, he published the book The End of Ice: Bearing Witness and Finding Meaning in the Path of Climate Disruption.
