Peter Arnett worked for National Geographic magazine, and later for various television networks, mosty notably CNN. He is well known for his coverage of war, including the Vietnam War and the Gulf War. He was awarded the 1966 Pulitzer Prize in International Reporting for his work in Vietnam, where he was present from 1962 to 1975, most of the time reporting for the Associated Press news agency.
In 1994, Arnett wrote "Live from the Battlefield: From Vietnam to Baghdad, 35 Years in the World's War Zones".
Arnett was one of the last reporters in Saigon after its fall to the NVA, and met with NVA soldiers who showed him how they had come into the city.
Arnett worked for CNN for 18 years ending in 1999. During the Gulf War he became a household name worldwide when he became the only reporter with live coverage directly from Baghdad. The week after that start of the war, Arnett was able to obtain an uncensored interview with Saddam Hussein.
The Gulf War became the first war seen truly live on TV, and Arnett was in many ways the sole player reporting from the "other side" for a period of five weeks.
In March 1997, Arnett was able to interview Osama bin Laden, as the first Western journalist to do so.
On assignment for NBC and National Geographic, Arnett went to Iraq in 2003 to cover the U.S. invasion. After a press meeting there he granted an interview to state-run Iraq TV on March 31, 2003.
