Last October I had the chance to talk to Filkins about his award winning book:
"To discover to the world something which deeply concerns it, and of which it was previously ignorant; to prove to it that it had been mistaken on some vital point of temporal or spiritual interest, is as important a service as a human being can render to his fellow creatures..." John Stuart Mill, "On Liberty"

Finklins is one of the great war correspondences of our time. He continues to do great work reporting from Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan for the New York Times.
