<p>Bob Dvorchak is an award-winning author and journalist, whose career spans more than four decades from Associated Press national correspondent to the <em>Pittsburgh Post-Gazette</em>. In his forties, he was asked by AP to cover the Gulf War (1990-91) and embedded with US armed forces deployed to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. His latest book, <em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Drive-Uncensored-War-Bedouin-All-Americans/dp/1943226210">Drive On: The Uncensored War of Bedouin Bob and the All-Americans</a>,</em> is a personal and historical reflection upon his life as a journalist, war correspondent, and the soldiers of the famed 82nd Airborne Infantry he came to know as “brothers” during the war.</p>
