A former Pulitzer Prize–winning foreign correspondent at the New York Times, Joel Brinkley is the author of, among others, U.S. vs. Microsoft: The Inside Story of the Landmark Case (2001) and Cambodia’s Curse, which Kirkus called “an excellent though dispiriting account of a country whose historic poverty, exacerbated by the Vietnam War, remains remarkably unchanged.” He is considered an expert in foreign-policy reporting and the future of journalism.
