Sapien and Lustgarten are the 2009 winners of NPF’s Thomas L. Stokes Award for Best Energy Writing. They discuss how they built their stories by spending months chasing the various aspects of the issue: digging through mountains of documents and legislation, as well as interviewing experts, government officials, agents of the drilling companies, and the people affected by the drilling’s environmental consequences.

The book is unrelenting in its depiction of the stomach-churning stress the troops live under, and shows the same kind of detail and respect for soldiering found in Michael Herr’s Dispatches. I interviewed Kelly after she spoke to our Paul Miller fellowship group, on July 7, 2010.
