With warm regards, Ralph Lynn Lowenstein Oct. 28, 1966. Item of ephemera about the author laid in. Ralph L. Lowenstein (March 8, 1930 August 10, 2020) was a professor of journalism. He served as dean of the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications. He earned his Ph.D, from the University of Missouri. While an undergrad at Columbia, he joined the volunteer organization Mahal and fought alongside Israeli forces during the 1948 ArabIsraeli War. He was one of the youngest American volunteers that time and later served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. Lowenstein reported for United Press International and CBS Morning News. In 1971, Lowenstein co-authored a landmark work, Media, Messages and Men, with John C. Merrill in which he predicted the rise of electronic mass media in which any person would be able to retrieve an infinite amount of material from central computers. From 1976 to 1994, Lowenstein served as the dean of University of Florida's College of Journalism and Communications. He was a pioneer in digital media and created one of the first journalism-related websites in the world. In 2011, Lowenstein received the Emma Lazarus Statue of Liberty Award for the Machal and Aliyah Bet Archives, which documented the lives of American volunteers who died during the 1948 war Derived from a Kirkus review: Anovel of the Israeli war with the Arabs, Bring My Sons attempts to cover a great chunk of the war. Large actions are recapped while minor skirmishes stretch over two or three chapters. In 1948 our 20-year-old American hero from Virginia flits into France, gets some false papers as a Displaced Person and is soon bound for Tel Aviv to join the Jewish army. The first U.N. truce is currently in effect. He gets taken on as half-track driver, receives blistering letters from his parents back home. Meanwhile, he comes intimately to know his officers, a handful of men and a young Sten-gun girl radio-operator. She was formerly with the Irgun. After his baptism of fire, he is soon bedding down with--well, her name is Shulamit, right out of The Song of Songs. The novel is interspersed with many long strips of biography for several characters, of interest.
