STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A native Staten Islander has collaborated with a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist to publish a new book featuring writings on war and its consequences.
Dr. Robert Miraldi, a former Advance reporter who grew up in Westerleigh, edited “Beyond the Killing Fields: War Writings” (Potomac Books), a collection of Sydney Schanberg’s reporting and commentary from wars he reported on in Bangladesh, Vietnam, Cambodia and Iraq.
“One reviewer called the book a ‘grim reminder’ of war. It really is; it just shows us what wars do and how inhuman we can be,” said Miraldi, who is also author of “The Pen Is Mightier: The Muckraking Life of Charles Edward Russell” (St. Martin’s Press).
