The Accidental Journey
It was supposed to be a routine night in Baghdad. Then the missiles hit.In the opening chapter of The Fixer, Amjad Tadros takes us inside the al-Rasheed Hotel during a U.S. missile strike in 1993 — a night that turned a young local producer into something more than a behind-the-scenes operator. What followed the chaos wasn't just survival. It was an encounter that would redefine his role in the world of foreign news — as a fixer, a translator of trust, and a bridge between two sides that rarely see each other clearly.This is where the story begins: not in a newsroom, but in the smoke and confusion of a hotel under fire — where the real work of journalism happens long before the cameras roll.Chapter 1 of The Fixer Podcast. Based on the memoir by Amjad M. Tadros.📖 Get the book: amjadtadros.com
