AWARD NAME: The Ed Cunningham Award 1998
RECIPIENT: Mark Danner
AFFILIATION: The New York Review of Books
HONORED WORK: “Yugoslav Wars”
Mark Danners nine-part series for The New York Review of Books on the war in Yugoslavia provided an insightful and compelling look at how the conflict unfolded and why the U.S. and its allies have largely failed to develop a coherent response. Combining his own enterprising reporting with solid research, Danner produced a comprehensive, well-written analysis of the largely misunderstood conflict, which has repeatedly exploded into full-fledged war.
