Philip Shenon is an investigative reporter and bestselling author, based in Washington D.C. Almost all of his career was spent at The New York Times, where he was a reporter from 1981 until May 2008. He left the paper a few weeks after his first book, “The Commission: The Uncensored History of the 9/11 Investigation,†hit the bestsellers lists of both The New York Times and The Washington Post. The book, a behind-the-scenes history of the 9/11 commission, was hailed by reviewers as “mesmerizing†(The New York Times), “stunning†and “spellbinding†(Publishers Weekly) and a “rich slice of investigative journalism†(The Observer, London). He is now a regular contributor to Newsweek magazine and its sister website, The Daily Beast. At The Times, he was a foreign correspondent, reporting from scores of countries across six continents, and held several of the most important reporting assignments in the paper’s Washington bureau, including the State Department, the Pentagon, the Justice Department and Congress. He has reported from several warzones and was one of two reporters from The Times embedded with American ground troops during the invasion of Iraq in the 1991 Gulf War. Shenon joined The Times as an assistant to the columnist James Reston, the paper’s former Washington bureau chief and executive editor, a few days after graduation from Brown University in 1981. Shenon was born in San Francisco and now lives in Washington D.C.
