The winners of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize were announced today and we're pleased to finally be able to announce that own David Gewirtz' ground-breaking investigative work into the national security flaws of the White House's email infrastructure was accepted for consideration in the 2008 Pulitzer Letters competition. Our understanding is this was possibly the first time a technology-related book had been accepted as a Pulitzer Prize candidate.
David's Where Have All The Emails Gone? didn't win the big prize, but lost out in the end to The Years of Extermination: Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1939-1945 by Saul Friedlander. Finalists in this category were The Cigarette Century by Allan Brandt and The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century by Alex Ross.
We're also pleased to announce that Where Have All The Emails Gone?, which has been holding in the Top 20 for more than three weeks, reached #1 last week for books on the Executive Branch at Amazon.com.
