[1]
[2] He wrote about the
Vietnam War , the
Jonestown Massacre , civil rights, the
impeachment of Richard Nixon , and the
September 11 attacks .
Early life
Reston was born in
Manhattan ,
New York City .
[3]
[2] His father
James "Scotty" Reston was an editor of the
New York Times .
[4]
[2] His mother, Sarah Jane "Sally" Fulton, was a journalist, photographer, writer, and publisher who joined her husband on foreign assignments in Europe and Asia during
World War II .
[1]
[5]
[2] His maternal grandfather,
William J. Fulton , served two terms as the
Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of Illinois .
[5]
Reston's family moved to
Washington, D.C . when he was two years old.
[2] He attended the
St. Albans School in Washington, D.C.
[6]
[3] He earned his B.A. in philosophy in 1963 at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) while on a
Morehead Scholarship .
[1]
[6]
[2] At UNC, he was an All-South soccer player and still retains the single-game scoring record for the university—five goals against
North Carolina State University on October 18, 1962.
[7]
[2] He attended
Oxford University during his junior year.
[8]
Career
Reston was an assistant to and speechwriter for
U.S. Secretary of the Interior
Stewart Udall from 1964 to 1965.
[1] He was a reporter for the
Chicago Daily News from 1964 to 1965.
[1]
[2] From 1965 to 1968, he served in the
U.S. Army as an intelligence officer and sergeant.
[1]
[6]
[2] From 1971 to 1981, he was a lecturer in creative writing at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill .
[9]
[1]
[2] From 1976 to 1977, he was a fiction reviewer for the Chronicle of Higher Education.
[1]
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Reston wrote numerous pieces about amnesty for Vietnam deserters, people who had left the United States rather than serving in the war.
[10]
[11] This led to two books, both collection of essays, When Can I Come Home , in 1972 and The Amnesty of John David Herndon in 1973.
[9] Reston said, "Now as a veteran against the war, I gravitated to the issue of amnesty for Vietnam war resisters, no doubt because emotionally I sympathized deeply with their plight and their decision in contrast to my own course."
[11]
From 1976 to 1977, Reston was
David Frost 's
Watergate adviser for the historic
Nixon interviews .
[8] Reston's book about the interviews, The Conviction of Richard Nixon, was the inspiration for
Peter Morgan 's 2006 play
Frost/Nixon , in which the character Jim Reston is the narrator.
[8] It was made into a film in 2008, also called
Frost/Nixon .
[2]
Reston's articles appeared in

Time ,
Vanity Fair , and

[8]
His works of both fiction and non-fiction cover a wide range of historical and political topics.

PBS , and
BBC candidate to be the first writer in space on the
NASA
space shuttle .

Challenger accident in January 1986.
[3] On May 23, 1994, Time magazine published his cover story on the impact of the
Shoemaker Levy 9 comet into
Jupiter .
[3]
Reston wrote four plays which were all stage adaptations of his books

[14] and Luther's Trumpet is an adaptation of his 2016 book, Luther's Fortress , and premiered in September 2018.
[13]
In 2005, Reston tried to stop production of
Ridley Scott 's film
Kingdom of Heaven , claiming half of the script was based on the first part of his book Warriors of God .
[15] Reston's book was previously optioned by
Phoenix Pictures , who had unsuccessfully pitched the concept to Scott as a potential project.
[16] Reston said, "They have built this film on the back of my intellectual property. They just read the first hundred pages and saw it has these great characters and a fantastic battle."
[16]
In 2016, Reston's 1977 book, The Innocence of Joan Little: A Southern Mystery , was optioned by
Paulist Productions to possibly develop as a limited series.
[17]
Reston was a Guest Scholar at the
Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in
