Why did Stanley McChrystal even agree to meet with a Rolling Stone writer? Maybe because that writer was Michael Hastings, a highly respected journalist who’s written for a host of publications. Business Insider highlights some of his more notable stories:
- I Lost My Love in Baghdad: In this incredible memoir, Hastings relates how he met his fiancé, a 28-year-old aid worker, in Baghdad, only to see her killed in a car bombing in 2007. Excerpt here.
- “8 Long Days,” Newsweek: This 2005 story follows Louisiana National Guardsmen stuck in Iraq as Katrina ravages New Orleans, eight days before they were scheduled to return home.
