註釋
From the #1
New York Times
–bestselling author of
Black Hawk Down
: “a first-rate collection” of long-form journalism on war, sports, politics, and more (
Booklist
).
Mark Bowden has established himself as one of America’s leading journalists and nonfiction writers.
The Three Battles of Wanat
collects the best of his long-form articles, including pieces from the
Atlantic
,
Vanity Fair
, the
New Yorker
, and the
Philadelphia Inquirer
.
The titular article delves into one of the bloodiest days of the War in Afghanistan and the years-long fallout it generated within the United States military. In “The Killing Machines,” Bowden examines the strategic, legal, and moral issues surrounding armed drones. And in a brilliant piece on Kim Jong-un called “The Bright Sun of Juche,” he recalibrates our understanding of the world’s youngest and most baffling dictator.
Also included are profiles of newspaper scion Arthur Sulzberger; renowned defense attorney and anti-death-penalty activist Judy Clarke; professional gambler Don Johnson, who won six million dollars in a single night playing blackjack; and David Simon, the creator of the legendary HBO series
The Wire
.
“Mark Bowden marshals his finest for
The Three Battles of Wanat
.” —
