Jo Wilding, a young trainee lawyer and human rights worker in Iraq, produced some of the finest frontline reporting of the war online from Fallujah, then under siege by the US Marines.

Travelling with a small group of independent reporters… and living with families and without a flak jacket, she all but shamed the embedded reporters and those that simply reported from their rooftops in Baghdad, in her description of the atrocious American attack on an Iraqi city.
