I’m new to The Atlantic, and I’m hoping to dive into some great articles and reporting that are similar in quality and scope to The New Yorker.
I’m hoping to find some of the following: suspenseful, on-the-ground reporting from conflict zones; reporting on global intelligence and espionage; thorough reporting on major domestic and global events of the past 40 years or so.
For example, I just finished The New Yorker’s article on “Piecing Together The Secrets of the Stasi,” and I recently re-read Lawrence Wright’s reporting on the legacy of Jonestown.
I’m sure there are tons of similar, great articles in The Atlantic’s archives - can someone throw out some of their favorites?
