It provides an unusual and, to my knowledge, unique perspective, with particular emphasis on the intriguing but little-studied subject of Jews and the US military."""" - Barry Strauss, author of Fathers and Sons in Athens: Ideology and Society in the Era of the Peloponnesian War """"Chaplain Rosen's thoughts about his experience at the front in Korea reveal how little has changed in basic human life vis-à-vis warfare. You can feel the uncertainty, the fear, the physical discomfort, the military inanities, and the drama of civilians caught up in dislocation."""" - Richard M. Budd, author of Serving Two Masters: The Development of American Military Chaplaincy
