"As anti-government rebels, backed by NATO air strikes, moved across Libya, the front lines shifted by the day, sometimes great distances. Reporters moved with them, moving on or retreating as the battles ebbed and flowed. Here we stopped for a live report." – Richard Engel (Libya, August 2011)

Richard Engel: “And Then All Hell Broke Loose”
Over the past two decades, the Middle East has been rocked by war, deep religious tension and social unrest. Richard Engel, the chief foreign correspondent for NBC News, has been on the ground covering it all. In Jerusalem, he witnessed the failed peace process between Israel and Palestine. From Baghdad, he reported on the Iraq war, and watched the rise of ISIS. In Egypt, Libya and Syria he saw the promise and the failure of the Arab spring. Richard Engel’s new book “And Then All Hell Broke Lose” is a first-hand account of his reporting in the region. He joins Diane to give an insider perspective on the interconnected forces impacting the Middle East.
