Thanassis Cambanis
Thanassis Cambanis currently teaches at The New School, and previously served as a Ferris Professor of Journalism at Princeton University. He contributes regularly to The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and Global Post.
Soon after American forces invaded Iraq in March 2003, Cambanis crossed the border in a rental car to write about the war's impact on Iraqi civilians. He has reported from the Arab world ever since, first as The Boston Globe bureau chief for Iraq and the Middle East until the newspaper shuttered its foreign desk in 2007, and then as a contributor to The New York Times and Global Post.
His newest book is A Privilege to Die: Inside Hezbollah's Endless War With Israel.
