This should not be deleted because Janine di Giovanni is a well-known war correspondent for The Times of London, Vanity Fair, and MilitaryWeek. She is also the author of "Madness Visible: A Memoir of War" (an expansion of a Vanity Fair feature), which was published by Bloomsbury and Knopf in 2003.
From the Times of London: "Janine di Giovanni has covered numerous conflicts for The Times. An Italian-American, she came to London in 1987. She began her career as a foreign correspondent reporting from Israel. Her book about the lives of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, Against the Stranger was published in 1993. Her coverage of the civil war in Bosnia for The Sunday Times led to a book The Quick and the Dead: Under Siege in Sarajevo. During the early weeks of the Nato bombardment, she was briefly taken hostage by Serbs. She spent several weeks living with the KLA within Kosovo, near the Albanian border. She was the only reporter to cover the fall of Grozny, Chechnya. She has won two Amnesty International awards for her coverage of human rights abuses in Kosovo and Sierra Leone and, in 2002, was short-listed for her work in The Times, uncovering police brutality in Kingston, Jamaica. In 2000 She won the Granada What the Paper's Say Foreign Correspondent of the Year award for her work in Chechnya and a National Magazine Award for her coverage of the war in Kosovo. Her third book Madness Visible, about the nature of war, will be published next year."
