Marvin J. Wolf, Award Winning Author and Photojournalist
|
In print and in person, Marvin J. Wolf is a renowned storyteller and photojournalist. The photo above is one of many Wolf took during his entry into journalism as an Army combat correspondent, the seed of a career that decades later grew into his newest book. They Were Soldiers: The Sacrifices and Contributions of Our Vietnam Veterans, co-authored with legendary war correspondent Joseph Galloway, debuts May 12, 2020 (available on pre-order now). Galloway, with the late Lt. Gen. Hal Moore, wrote We Were Soldiers Once ... and Young, a New York Times bestseller and the basis of the popular film starring Mel Gibson, and the bestselling sequel, We Are Soldiers Still. Wolf's prior autobiographical books, co-authored with other notable figures, include Abandoned in Hell, co-authored by decorated Vietnam Green Beret Captain William Albracht. "AIH" won accolades from Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and military publications, was named Best History Book in 2016 by the American Society of Journalists and Authors, and won the 2019 Readers Favorite Gold Medal.

Wolf also co-authored Where White Men Fear To Tread with Russell Means, the man The Washington Post then dubbed, “One of the biggest, baddest, meanest, angriest, most famous American Indian activists of the late twentieth century.” Having penned a series of True Crime books, in recent years Wolf has also created two fiction series. The Rabbi Ben Mysteries feature a detective who happens to be a rabbi. Fans of the initial book, For Whom The Shofar Blows, will be happy to know two new Rabbi Ben mysteries, A Scribe Dies in Brooklyn and A Tale of Two Rabbis are also now available, and Rabbi Ben #4, Bride of Finkelstein, is coming summer 2020. After reading M-9, fans of Wolfe's fiction are also now looking forward to the next book in his new Chelmin and Spaulding CID mysteries, Papa Two Niner. Wolf's also been a writer for TV & Film, and, lest he have time to twiddle his thumbs, Wolf's also creating photo books -- a passion begun during his years in Vietnam. Samples of Wolf's short fiction, articles, screenplays, photo backstories and memoirs appear in his blog. |

Early Praise for
THEY WERE SOLDIERS: The Sacrifices and Contributions of Our Vietnam Veterans "This riveting book is an important contribution to the national weal. I challenge you to read these stories of a Great Generation with dry eyes." -Steven Pressfield, New York Times bestselling author of The War of Art
"We have conveniently and collectively erased the Vietnam War from most of our memories—it didn’t work out the way our myths tell us American wars should—but we cannot erase the experiences of those who fought that war. They are brought to life magnificently in this book, which is a vivid (and heroic) reminder that we forget at our own peril." -Ken Burns, award-winning filmmaker I loved reading this book. It was like hanging around with my veteran friends at a reunion listening to them tell me not what they did in the war, but what they did with their lives, which is far more interesting. -Karl Marlantes, New York Times bestselling author of Matterhorn |
