Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. x, 233, [7] pages. Footnotes. Index. Inscribed by the author on the title page. The inscription reads: "9-18-07 Francoise Seek the truth! Josh Rushing". The book blends his personal story with a unique behind-the-scenes look into the controversial Al-Jazeera broadcast networks. Josh Rushing is an American broadcast journalist and photographer. He is a correspondent for the Emmy-winning documentary series, Fault Lines, on Al Jazeera English. He is also a former officer of the United States Marine Corps (USMC). Rushing represented the Marine Corps in Hollywood in the Marine Corps Motion Picture and Television Liaison Office. Rushing volunteered to deploy with forward units before the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Rushing was assigned to United States Central Command (CENTCOM) in Doha, Qatar, during Operation Iraqi Freedom where he served as a spokesperson to General Tommy Franks. An independent film, Control Room, captured his efforts to communicate the American message on Al Jazeera Arabic. The documentary debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004. After the Pentagon ordered him not to comment on the film, he left the Marine Corps after 14 years of active duty service in October 2004 and later helped start Al Jazeera English in 2005. Sean Elder is a contributing writer and former West Coast Editor at Newsweek. He has also taught writing at Manhattan's New School University. Blending his riveting personal story with innovative ideas about how to win the war on terror, former marine turned Al Jazeera reporter Josh Rushing addresses all the issues he was not allowed to talk about when he was in uniform. If we are to win the war on terror, Rushing explains, we have to interact with the media at home and abroad in order to control the way we are perceived. By refusing to appear on Al Jazeera, Western leaders allow people who disagree with the current administration to represent the West to the Arab world in a skewed, negative way. By taking readers inside Al Jazeera, Rushing offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at the controversial news channel and shows how the West can harness it to its advantage, relay a positive message to the Arab public, and hear what it has to say in return. Derived from a Kirkus review: From gyrene to jihadi journalistâ"it's not the usual American career trajectory. Those who have seen the remarkable documentary Control Room will recall Rushing as the Marine public-affairs officer interpreting the American invasion of Iraq for a press corps. Located behind the lines in Qatar, Rushing found some of the most interesting and confounding questions coming from the journalists of Al Jazeera, the Arabic-language news network headquartered there. Against that official line, he advanced the argument that progressive Arab journalists might be able to explain the U.S. version of things to the Arab world; for so doing, he was all but accused of treason. Thoroughly disillusioned by events in Iraq, Rushing was put back on his soft beat working as a liaison with Hollywood. But there he got himself in still further trouble by making public comments about Control Room that took him "outside his lane," as the Marines say. His bosses accused him of vying for 15 minutes of fame. He left the Corps and was preparing to take a job in PR in Texas when the programming director of the new Al Jazeera English station, headquartered in D.C., called to offer him a jobâ"whereupon, well, his difficulties truly begin, not least with the FBI. Rushing turn in an earnest narrative, but this story tells itself: Rushing is still trying to explain America to the Arab world and vice versa, and his vignettes clearly reveal what a tough job that is. A long list of people won't like this book, from George Bush to Gary Busey. Gary Busey? Yesâ"and that's just one instance of culture clash. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].…
