Peter Arnett, Pulitzer-Winning War Correspondent, Dies at 91

Peter Arnett, the renowned war correspondent who won a Pulitzer Prize for his fearless reporting during the Vietnam War, has died at the age of 91. Over a career spanning more than four decades, Arnett covered 17 wars across the globe, becoming a household name for his vivid and often controversial frontline reports for The Associated Press and later for CNN. His work included exclusive interviews with world leaders and coverage of historic events, such as the fall of Saigon and the bombing of Baghdad, often challenging official narratives and drawing both acclaim and criticism.

Arnett's career was marked by both groundbreaking journalism and controversy. He was known for his willingness to take risks and defy authority, sometimes at the cost of his objectivity or professional standing. Despite facing accusations of bias and being dismissed from major networks late in his career, Arnett's legacy endures as that of a reporter who prioritized getting the story, no matter the danger. He is survived by his wife, Nina Nguyen, and their two children.
