Honored Work: “Richard Engel Reports: Twelve-Day War – Covering the Build-up, Conflict and Aftermath from Inside Israel & Iran”
Engel, a veteran war correspondent, was able to win access to rarely chronicled spaces, from the floor of the Iranian parliament to the interior of the just-bombed Evin prison, unveiling the horrors that so many had experienced first-hand. With exquisite story-telling and careful editing, Engel was able to bring unmatched depth to a fast-moving but critically important story.
