Fletcher, an award-winning journalist, will talk about his newest book, Promised Land: A Novel
of Israel. In what Tom Brokaw calls, “a riveting novel that picks up where Exodus left off,”
Promised Land is an epic saga of Israel’s early
years and is the first novel in a planned trilogy.
Fletcher has covered every event of conse-
quence in the Middle East and Africa for the
last thirty years. He was NBC correspondent in
Israel for 26 years and bureau chief for 15 years.
He has covered Kosovo, Rwanda, and Israel,
including the first and second Palestinian upris-
ings and Israel’s war with Lebanon in 2006.
His reporting has earned him almost every
award in TV journalism, including the DuPont
(known as the TV Pulitzer), five Overseas Press
Club awards, the Edward R. Murrow Award for Excellence several times, five Emmys, and many
other awards. He has lived in Africa, Europe and the Middle East and worked in almost every
country on the planet.
