511 1  Read by Kirk W. Johnson. 
520    In January 2005 Kirk Johnson, then twenty-four, arrived in
       Baghdad as USAID's only American employee who spoke 
       Arabic. Despite his opposition to the war, Johnson felt 
       called to civic duty and wanted to help rebuild Iraq. 
       Appointed as USAID's first reconstruction coordinator in 
       Fallujah, he traversed the city's IED-strewn streets, 
       working alongside idealistic Iraqi translators-young men 
       and women sick of Saddam, filled with Hollywood slang, and
       enchanted by the idea of a peaceful, democratic Iraq. It 
       was not to be. As sectarian violence escalated, Iraqis 
       employed by the U.S. coalition found themselves subject to
       a campaign of kidnapping, torture, and death. On his first
       brief vacation, Johnson, swept into what doctors later 
       described as a 'fugue state,' crawled onto the ledge 
       outside his hotel window and plunged. He would spend the 
       next year in an abyss of depression, surgery, and PTSD-
       crushed by having failed in Iraq. One day, Johnson 
       received an email from an Iraqi friend, Yaghdan: People 
       are trying to kill me and I need your help. After being 
       identified by a militiaman, Yaghdan had emerged from his 
       house to find the severed head of a dog and a death 
       threat. That email launched Johnson's mission to get help 
       from the U.S. government for Yaghdan and thousands like 
       him abandoned in Iraq. The List Project has now helped 
       more than 1,500 Iraqis find refuge in America. To Be a 
       Friend Is Fatal is Kirk W. Johnson's unforgettable 
       portrait of the human rubble of war and a book that 
       'redeems a measure of pride from a national episode full 
       of tragedy and shame' (George Packer).
