I’m a retired journalist with more than 40 years’ experience as reporter and editor, both in the United States and, largely, internationally. As a roving correspondent for The Associated Press from the late 1970s to 2011, I reported from some 100 countries on stories ranging from summit conferences and arms negotiations to climate change and the plight of a threatened tribe in New Guinea. I’ve also reported from almost a dozen war zones, including extensively from Afghanistan and Iraq beginning in 2002. I served as AP assistant and deputy managing editor in 1987-92.
I have a journalism degree from St. Bonaventure University and served two years in the U.S. Army in 1969-70, including a year as an Army journalist in Vietnam during the Indochina war. I have won singly or shared in a Pulitzer Prize, Polk award, Overseas Press Club award and more than a dozen other awards recognizing my journalistic work.
I am co-author of the books World War II: A 50th Anniversary History (Henry Holt); 20th Century America (Grolier Educational); FLASH! The Associated Press Covers the World (Abrams); The Bridge at No Gun Ri, published in 2001 by Henry Holt, and Ghost Flames: Life and Death in a Hidden War, Korea 1950-1953, published by PublicAffairs in August 2020.
On Wikipedia, I have focused on No Gun Ri Massacre and related articles, drawing on voluminous files and sources developed during and since our Associated Press team’s Pulitzer-winning work in 1999 confirming that large-scale killing of refugees in the Korean War. I have also contributed to the Fred Hargesheimer article.
