Description
Over the course of her career, journalist Marie Brenner has profiled heroes, villains, and those who fall in-between. This collection includes profiles of war correspondent Marie Colvin, teenage activist Malala Yousafzai, Donald Trump, and Richard Jewell, whose life was turned upside-down after being wrongfully named as a suspect in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bombing.
Description
In the early morning hours of July 27, 1996, three pipe bombs exploded at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, killing one person and injuring 111 others. Hundreds more potential casualties were prevented by the vigilance and quick actions of security guard Richard Jewell, who uncovered the bombs and began evacuating the area. But no good deed goes unpunished. Desperate for a lead, investigators and journalists pursued Jewell as a potential suspect in the case, painting him as an obvious match for the infamous {28}lone bomber
