Laura Kasinof studied Arabic in college and moved to Yemen a few years later - after a friend at a late-night party in Washington, DC, recommended the country as a good place to work as a freelance journalist. When she first moved to Sanaa in 2009, she was the only American reporter based in the country. She quickly fell in love with Yemen’s people and culture, in addition to finding herself the star of a local TV soap opera. When antigovernment protests broke out in Yemen, part of the revolts sweeping the Arab world at the , she contacted the New York s to see if she could cover the rapidly unfolding events for the newspaper. Laura never planned to be a war correspondent, but found herself in the middle of brutal government attacks on peaceful protesters. As for reporters were rounded up and shipped out of the country, Laura managed to elude the authorities but found herself increasingly isolated - and even more deteed to report on what she saw. Don’t Be Afraid of the Bullets is a fascinating and important debut by a talented young journalist.
