For 13 years, Matt McAllester was a reporter and foreign correspondent
for Newsday. He covered conflicts in Kosovo, Israel and the

In 2003, he was imprisoned for eight days by Saddam Hussein’s

He has written two books - on the wars in Kosovo and Iraq - and is working on a third, a memoir of his mother. He has made two documentaries for British television. McAllester left Newsday at the end of 2007 and now is a contributing editor at Details magazine.
