David Finkel author tour

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of the critically acclaimed The Good Soldiers, David Finkel will appear in conversation with top Australian journalists around the country.

The Good Soldiers has been lauded as the best account of the conflict in Iraq, with Leigh Sales describing the book as "not only the best non fiction book I've read this year, but one of the best I have ever read... Finkel spent the best part of a year with a US army unit sent to Iraq at the very beginning of the surge. It makes no judgement on the merits of the surge as a policy; it simply tells the soldiers' stories. A masterpiece."
