He grew up mostly in the San Francisco Bay area. He attended Stanford University, where he became editor-in-chief of The Stanford Daily and earned a degree in political science.[2]
At The Post he has served as bureau chief in Baghdad, Cairo, and Southeast Asia, and as a correspondent covering the war in Afghanistan. During 2003, the Post put his stories on the front page 138 times.[3] In 2004, he was journalist-in-residence at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies,[4] and a public policy scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
Chandrasekaran's 2006 book Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone won the 2007 Samuel Johnson Prize[5] and was a finalist for the 2006 National Book Awards for non-fiction.[6] The film Green Zone (2010) is "credited as having been 'inspired by'" the book.[7]
