Mark Patinkin has been writing a column for the Providence Journal for over 45 years, starting in 1979 at age 26. Around 6,000 columns later, he is still at it.
Patinkin has written about famine in Africa, religious conflict in India and Beirut, and recently, the Gaza War. He covered the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe, where he was arrested by the secret police in Stalinist Romania for trying to interview a dissident and expelled from the country.
In addition to “The Holy Land at War,” Patinkin has written several previous books, including “An African Journey,” “The Silent War,” about the world’s most competitive companies, and “Just the Way He Was Before,” about a boy who lost both legs to bacterial meningitis but went on to play ice hockey.Patinkin was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in International Reporting and was recently named columnist of the year for Gatehouse Media, now Gannett.
“The Holy Land at War” is not a political analysis but a personal odyssey – one writer’s attempt to bear witness through those touched by this long conflict, Jews and Arabs sentenced together by history and geography.
Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.
