Post’s Coll Takes Gelber Prize
The Washington Post’s Associate Editor Steve Coll has won the 2004 Gelber Prize for his book, “Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan and bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001.”
The prize honors the best book on foreign policy published in the past year, and he beat out Michael Ignatieff, Anne-Marie Slaughter, Olivier Roy, and Dennis Ross for the honor.
Jury chair George Russell said Ghost Wars “lays bare the complex bureaucratic, political, and human calculations and disputes that led Washington from a proxy triumph over the Soviet Union to the calamity of the World Trade Center.”
