The Pulitzer diaries
inside America's greatest prize
by John Hohenberg
Hohenberg's private record of his time as administrator of the Pulitzer Prize sheds new light on some of the pivotal national events of the 1960s and 1970s, and it gives readers the inside story on how the Pulitzers are awarded.
The behind-the-scenes accounts - John Kennedy's winning a Pulitzer for his Profiles in Courage, Seymour Hirsch's reporting on the Mylai Massacre, the coverage of the Watergate scandal, or the Pentagon Papers - are full of characters and story plots that would make any novelist proud. But Hohenberg's writings are based on his own observations.
Never before has a book detailed such intimate and in-depth portraits of both the Pulitzer Prizes and the people who won them, individuals who helped shape the path of American journalism, music, drama, and literature.
