Read The Bomber Mafia

John Hersey follows six survivors through the day of the bomb; the New Yorker gave it a whole issue.

Nineteen New Yorker pieces, from Cesar Millan reading dogs to why there are dozens of mustards and only one ketchup.

Why we misread people we do not know, built around the traffic stop that ended with Sandra Bland dead in a cell.

Kapuscinski's forty years reporting Africa, from Ghana's independence to Rwanda.

Haile Selassie's court told by its servants; Kapuscinski on power anywhere.

Voices of the liquidators, widows and resettled villagers; Alexievich's Nobel oral history.

Russians remember the end of the Soviet Union and the 1990s; Alexievich's chorus.

Kapuscinski's first assignments abroad with the first historian in his pocket.
