About the Award

The Pritzker Military Library Literature Award for Lifetime Achievement in Military Writing was established by Tawani Foundation in 2007 as a means to recognize a living author who has made a significant contribution to the understanding of American military history including military affairs. These contributions may be academic, non-fiction, fiction, or a combination of any of the three. The recipient may be of any nationality and may have written their collective works in any language.
