Reception
editAP writer Jerry Harkavy wrote that Single Handed "is a story of endurance, bravery and determination that rivals that of Louis Zamperini, the hero of Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken, the best-seller about a World War II aviator who survived 47 days on a life raft in the Pacific before being held captive and tortured in a Japanese prison".[9] Jack Fischel wrote for the Jewish Book Council that "Daniel M. Cohen provides a riveting account of one of the most courageous heroes of the Korean War". He added that "Cohen describes in detail the “red-tape,” the anti-Semitism and the resistance of the army bureaucracy in thwarting Tibor from receiving the medal".[10] In her review, Sue Brooke wrote that Single Handed is a "compelling true story of one of the most heroic men of the Korean War. At the time he served, he was not even a U. S. citizen".[11] The Forward called the book "riveting".[12]
