Author and Washington Post journalist Rick Atkinson has been awarded the 2010 Pritzker Military Library Literature Award for Lifetime Achievement in Military Writing.

The award, which includes a $100,000 honorarium, was announced Tuesday and is among the field's highest -- not to mention most lucrative -- honors. Atkinson, 57, is the fourth writer to be presented with the award, first given to Civil War historian James M. McPherson in 2007.
