Timely, Eloquent Journal
Milton J. Rosen was an American Military Chaplain during the Korean War who later became a highly respected scholar of Oriental Languages and Literatures. His dispatches to the American Yiddish Press, written in Yiddish and translated by his son, Dr. Stanley R. Rosen, provide both warm, homey detail about the impact of the war on homesick Jewish soldiers and erudite, first-hand knowledge of the Korean War, written from the battlefields themselves. As this area of the world has recently heated up, this war diary becomes all the more relevant.
