My Take
Misha Glenny is the kind of journalist I instinctively trust because he goes where the danger is. From London to Bristol to the front lines of southeast European conflict, global organised crime, and cybersecurity, he turns terrifying underworlds into prose ordinary readers can actually follow. His 2012 Orwell Prize feels well earned for that gift. Add a stint leading a Vienna research institute and you get a writer with both reportorial nerve and intellectual range. I respect chroniclers who illuminate the shadows instead of merely shivering at them, and Glenny does precisely that.
