A Bright Shining LieRead about another entry on the list.
Neil Sheehan (1988)
The life and death of an American colonel who went to Vietnam in the 1960s, didn’t like what he saw – cowardice and incompetence, rather than a wrong war – and so went on to tell the world’s press about it. A fascinating study, not just of the war but of a man.
A Bright Shining Lie is one of Harold Evans's five best books about reporting.
