He will become a senior fellow at NAF and write a follow-up to his book, “Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001.”
NAF’s board led by David Bradley, chairman of owner of Atlantic Media Co., is spearheading the search for Coll’s replacement.
Ford Foundation, New York Community Trust and Rockefeller Foundations are the top funders of NAF, kicking in at least $1M.
George Soros’ Foundation to Promote Open Society, Pew Charitable Trusts, Wendy and Eric Schmidt, Carnegie Corp., Peter G. Peterson Foundation and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are funders in the $250K to $1M category.
