Peter Finn is the national security editor at The Washington Post. He joined the paper in 1995. Finn spent 10 years overseas for the paper as the bureau chief in its Warsaw, Berlin and Moscow bureaus. He reported on the 1999 war in Kosovo and its aftermath. Following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Finn covered terrorism for The Post. He was embedded with U.S. Special Forces during the invasion of Iraq. In all, Finn has reported from more than 60 countries for The Post. He returned to The Post's newsroom in 2008 after covering the Russia-Georgia war and became a national security correspondent covering counterterrorism and U.S. detention operations, including at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, which he has visited multiple times to report on military commission trials. Finn is the co-author of "The Zhivago Affair: The Kremlin, the CIA and the Battle over a Forbidden Book," published by Pantheon in June 2014. Derived from a Kirkus review: The history of "one of the first efforts by the CIA to leverage books as instruments of political warfare." In the 1940s, Boris Pasternak (1890-1960) set out to write an epic of Russia's revolution. The result was Doctor Zhivago. Finn and Couvée chronicle the intrigue over the book's publication in Europe, its initial reception and the vociferous opposition in the Soviet Union. Pasternak insisted that his manuscript be smuggled to the Italian editor who agreed to publish it and serve as international agent. An immediate best-seller in Italy in 1957; the following year, the microfilmed manuscript arrived at CIA headquarters. The agency managed to send several hundred copies to the 1958 World's Fair in Brussels. From behind curtains at the back, Russian visitors grabbed their contraband. Soviet response was swift and crushing, intensifying after Pasternak was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958. Denounced as a traitor, he was expelled from the prestigious writers' union.
