John Sack
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Sack (1930-2004) was an American literary journalist. He was the only journalist to cover every American war for the past 50 years.
He was born to a Jewish family on 1930 March 24 in New York City. His work has appeared in such periodicals as Harper's, The Atlantic, Esquire (magazine) and The New Yorker. He has been a war correspondent in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Yugoslavia, as well as CBS News bureau chief in Spain.
He also wrote 10 books, including the controversial title, An Eye for an Eye. The book caused an uproar because Sack reported that at the end of World War II, a number of Jewish Holocaust survivors, like Salomon Morel, ran some Polish-Communist concentration camps and prisons, where they tortured and killed mostly German but also Polish civilians, including women and children.
He died on 2004 March 27 of complications from bone marrow cancer.
