Review: AK47: The Story of the People's Gun by Michael Hodges

Just recently back from Albania, a grim place that I perhaps was not prepared for. Am currently working on a series of "letters" from there, which I should complete soon for Gadling. Am also researching the subject of blood feuds there and might be returning for more reporting.

In publication news, my review of Michael Hodge's AK47: The Story of the People's Gun appears in PopMatters.

Cheers.

New Spiegel and Monitor articles

Things have been hectic down here in the Balkans, where I've been living since late February. Anyway, in terms of recent (or kind of recent) publication news, a piece I wrote from Ukraine appeared in Der Spiegel last month.

Also, the fruits of some early and sustained reporting from my current home base in Montenegro appeared last week in the Christian Science Monitor .

What else is new? I just returned final edits for a piece on Switzerland for The American Lawyer and turned in a book review of Michael Hodges' AK47: Story of a Gun to Pop Matters . I'm currently working on an essay from a botched trip to Kosovo, and preparing to leave on a weeklong trip to Albania at the end of this week.
