John Sack
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Sack (1930-2004) was an American literary journalist. He was the only journalist to cover each American war over half a century.
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. Morel was never a prisoner in any Nazi concentration camp, and was in fact a career criminal recruited by Soviet-sympathizing communist partisans.
John Sack did extensive research and fought off major attempts to suppress his book. He died on 2004 March 27 of complications from bone marrow cancer.
The book AN EYE FOR AN EYE, states, that 'Not for sixty years has a book been so brutally ..suppressed...It became a best-seller in Europe but was shunned in America..."
