Behind 'An Eye for an Eye'

John Sack is one of America's most eminent literary journalists. His reporting over more than half a century, from North and South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, has appeared in such periodicals as Harper's, The Atlantic, 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 is the author of nine non-fiction books, including M, Lieutenant Calley: His Story, and Company C, as well as An Eye for an Eye (available from the IHR). The founding editor of Esquire magazine has compared his writing to that of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernst Hemingway.

He wrote a book, "An Eye for an Eye"  about  what happened in POW camps after WWII; and even though he is an eminent journalist, and the book was fact-checked by  many publishers and was accurate, he could not get it published. Here is a speech he gave about the book and how it finally came to be published.
