More About the Author

Robert Katz

Robert Katz is the author of twelve books and eight screenplays, including three adaptations from his own works: Death in Rome, The Cassandra Crossing, and Days of Wrath.

Death in Rome, which the Chicago Tribune called a "masterpiece of literature [and] a masterpiece of historical scholarship," was a worldwide bestseller published in twenty edi¬tions and ten languages. A study of the World War II Ardeatine Caves Massacre, it became an international cause célèbre culminating in a ten year freedom of speech court battle involving the Vatican. He has written extensively on this period and among his other publications are Black Sabbath: A Journey Through a Crime Against Humanity, a study of the roundup and deportation to Auschwitz of the Jews of Rome.

His most recent work, The Battle for Rome, a history of Nazi-occupied Rome, was praised by The New York Times as "a poignant, dramatic and definitive account..."

Days of Wrath is an investigative report on the terrorist kidnapping and murder of Aldo Moro, the Italian statesman. Reviewing Days of Wrath, the Washington Post wrote: "anyone who can be moved by the pity and terror of a modern tragedy will want to read this original and passionately heartfelt book." The book was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize; the film version won a Golden Globe and represented Italy in the main competition of the 1987 Berlin Film Festival, where it received a Silver Bear award.

His articles, short stories, and book reviews have appeared in publications throughout the world. He has been a consultant to CBS's 60 Minutes, ABC's PrimeTime Live and Italian television's RAI network news magazine Mixer.

In 1991 he was inducted into the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Both as author and screenwriter, Mr. Katz has been a guest lecturer on many university campuses in the U.S. and abroad. Between 1986 and 1992, he was a frequent visiting professor in investigative journalism at the University of California at Santa Cruz. A Fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, he is a former grantee of the American Council of Learned Societies and has twice been elected a Knight of Mark Twain.

4.0 out of 5 stars Read Babi Yar first, July 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Black Sabbath (Hardcover)
Rome is the peaceful city in the shadow of the Vatican and the war stays far away. Until. This moving true story of the systematic collection and deportation of the Jews of Rome by the Nazis will deeply affect you.
