Marvin J. Wolf, Award Winning Author and Photojournalist
In print and in person, Marvin J. Wolf is a renowned storyteller. Above he's pictured with Russell Means, with whom he penned the biography of the man The Washington Post then dubbed, “One of the biggest, baddest, meanest, angriest, most famous American Indian activists of the late twentieth century.” His most recent nonfiction book, Abandoned in Hell, written with Green Beret Captain William Albracht, won accolades from Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and military publications. Recent works include a fiction series, featuring a detective who happens to be a rabbi. Fans of the first, For Whom The Shofar Blows, will be happy to know a new Rabbi Ben mystery, A Scribe Dies in Brooklyn, is now available; Rabbi Ben Mystery #3 is due spring 2017. For a video about Abandoned in Hell, short autobiographical pieces, TV & Film, and photo books -- a passion of Wolf's starting with an assignment during his years in Vietnam -- scroll down.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY REVIEW
ABANDONED IN HELL "Former Army Special Forces Captain Albracht and prolific author and screenwriter Wolf (Buddha’s Child) present a riveting look at a little-known but compelling Vietnam War story. It centers on how, in October of 1969, Albracht, a young Green Beret officer, managed to lead his vastly outnumbered American troops and their Montagnard tribesmen allies on a desperate and daring escape from a remote hilltop outpost deep in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. The authors mix a history of the American war in Vietnam through 1969 with Albracht’s first-person story and the thoughts of survivors interviewed for the book."

",,,Despite being wounded and near exhaustion — and with virtually no ammunition or water — Albracht brought off a minor miracle, leading “a hundred and fifty fighting men, many suffering from wounds or battle shock, through a gauntlet of fire” to safety." Full review and other reviews |
