Frances FitzGerald (born October 21, 1940) is an American journalist and author. She is best known for her book, Fire in the Lake: The Vietnamese and the Americans in Vietnam (1972), which was met with great acclaim when it was published, and remains one of the most notable books about the Vietnam War. FitzGerald was awarded both a Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award for the book.
FitzGerald's subsequent volumes include America Revised, a highly critical review of high school history textbooks (1979); Cities on a Hill (1981); Way Out There in the Blue: Reagan, Star Wars and the End of the Cold War (2000); and Vietnam: Spirits of the Earth (2002).
FitzGerald's writing has also appeared in The New Yorker, and the New York Review of Books, The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, Architectural Digest, and Rolling Stone. She serves on the editorial boards of The Nation and Foreign Policy, and is vice-president of PEN.
She is the half-sister of 1960s supermodel Penelope Tree.
