Anthony Lander Horwitz (June 9, 1958 – May 27, 2019) was an American journalist and author who is best known for narrative nonfiction reportage that examined little-known historical subcultures and extremists. His body of work stands as a prescient investigation into gun culture, masculinity, and Lost Cause nostalgia.
Horwitz won the 1995 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting for his stories about working conditions in low-wage America published in The Wall Street Journal. His books include One for the Road: a Hitchhiker's Outback (1987), Baghdad Without a Map (1991), Confederates in the Attic, Blue Latitudes, A Voyage Long and Strange: Rediscovering the New World (2008), Midnight Rising: John Brown and the Raid That Sparked the Civil War (2011), and Spying on the South: An Odyssey Across the American Divide (2019).
