Alan Elsner has 30 years' experience in journalism, covering stories ranging from the September 11, 2001 attacks on America and the crisis in the Middle East to the 2000 Presidential election and the end of the Cold War. Elsners career has been marked by a passion for justice and truth, unquestioned integrity, and a willingness to confront the powerful, the complacent and the evasive.

In The Nazi Hunter he turns that formidable knowledge and expertise towards a gripping thriller weaving together fierce partisan politics, the search for ex-Nazi war criminals, romance, music and a crazed far-right militia intent on bringing down the government.

Christian Wichita versus Jewish DC
As a Jew who grew up in the Midwest, I very much appreciate the high comedy of this culture clash. I can’t wait to see a production! The drama of the piece is sweetened with just the right amount of sharp wit and a dash of the Borsht belt. Not exactly heartwarming, but true to the times without being pedantic. Well done.
