Books by Pete Hamill

The Associated Press, the leading American news agency founded in 1846, won an unprecedented three Pulitzer Prizes for its coverage of the Vietnam War (1964-66). Its correspondents and photographers who covered the war form a legendary cadre in American journalism. To create this book, the agency selected almost 300 photographs from the tens of thousands filed during the conflict. Pete Hamill is an American journalist, novelist, essayist, editor and educator. Over the years, he has written on many subjects for Abrams, including the Mexican painter Diego Rivera, the photographs of the New York Daily News (where he served as editor), and Bobby Kennedy (Hamill helped persuade Kennedy to run for the Presidency). The recipient of many awards, Hamill is currently a Distinguished Writer in Residence at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University.
