Talking About ‘Baghdad Without a Map’

Tony Horowitz, the journalist and travel writer who wrote ‘Baghdad Without a Map’, fielded questions from a Los Angeles radio show host Tuesday about his experiences in the city now under seige. Host Kitty Felde had an old map of Baghdad and was hoping Horowitz could describe the city’s layout and landmarks. But as Horowitz explained by phone, he never had a map of Baghdad. They’d been outlawed during his visit. (Hence, of course, the title of his book.) So he could only recall what he had seen.
