Daniel Halperin Kurzman (27 March 1922, in San Francisco – 12 December 2010, in Manhattan),[1] was an American journalist and writer of military history books.
[3] At the end of his life, Dan Kurzman lived in North Bergen (New Jersey) with his wife, Florence.
In 1960, he published his first political book, a biography of the Japanese Prime Minister, Nobusuke Kishi.
[5] In the 1960s, Kurzman worked as a foreign policy correspondent for The Washington Post.
[8] A Polish-Israeli research team have suggested that much of what Kurzman wrote about the Warsaw Ghetto was actually tainted by the personal testimony of unreliable Polish witnesses who deliberately magnified their own role in wartime Warsaw - most notably, Henryk Iwanski.
