Rajiv Chandrasekaran writes narrative journalism about war, occupation, government institutions and the practical consequences of policy decisions. Imperial Life in the Emerald City examines the US administration of Iraq from inside Baghdad's Green Zone, focusing on staffing, reconstruction plans and the disconnect between official ambitions and conditions outside the compound. Little America turns to Afghanistan, following military strategy, development projects and attempts to build political legitimacy through individual officials, soldiers and local encounters.

His work fits war reporting, US foreign policy and narrative political non-fiction. Read more Less
