Colby Award

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Colby Award was established in 1999 by the William E. Colby Military Writers' Symposium at Norwich University in Vermont in order to recognize "a first work of fiction or non-fiction that has made a major contribution to the understanding of intelligence operations, military history, or international affairs." The Colby Circle was co-founded by writers Carlo D'Este and W.E.B. Griffin. The award is currently administered by Ed Tracy of the Pritzker Military Library in Chicago.
