Description
This collection of war writings by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sydney Schanberg is drawn from over four decades of reporting for major publications. At its heart is his signature work, "The Death and Life of Dith Pran," which was featured in the New York Times Magazine.
Schanberg's reporting spanned multiple conflicts, including the India-Pakistan war that ended Pakistan's brutal attempt to crush the Bangladesh freedom movement, as well as the Vietnam conflict. His coverage of Hanoi's fierce offensive in 1972 recounts a pivotal moment in the war. Schanberg also offered a unique perspective on Iraq, criticizing the Bush administration's secrecy and calling it America's "strangest war."
This anthology presents a powerful critique of what Schanberg considers a devious and destructive presidency, bringing his war reportage into the present day.
