Previously published as AN EXCLUSIVE War, Marie Brenner’s Richard Jewell tells a gripping true story of heroism and injustice. In the early morning hours of July 27, 1996, three pipe bombs exploded at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, eliminating one person and injuring 111 others. Hundreds even more potential casualties had been prevented by the vigilance and quick actions of security guard Richard Jewell, who uncovered the bombs and started evacuating the area. But no great deed will go unpunished.

In need of a lead, investigators and journalists pursued Jewell as a potential think in the case, painting him while an obvious match for the infamous “lone bomber” profile. Accused to be a terrorist and a failed police official who craved public recognition for his fake heroics, he noticed his popularity smeared across headlines and broadcasts nationwide. After a months-long investigation found no evidence against him, the united states Lawyer finally cleared Jewell’s name. However Jewell wouldn’t normally be completely exonerated in the eyes of the public until the actual bomber confessed in 2005, just 2 yrs before Jewell’s early death at age forty-four.

In Richard Jewell, veteran journalist Marie Brenner brilliantly chronicles Jewell’s ordeal to talk about the storyplot of a typical man whose life was shattered with a fake narrative. This collection also contains Brenner’s classic encounters with Donald Trump, Roy Cohn, Malala Yousafzai, Marie Colvin, yet others.
