Gerald Green, who lived from 1922 – 2006, was an American author and journalist. He was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of a physician, Dr. Samuel Greenberg. Green attended Columbia University, where he edited the JESTER, starred in several Varsity Shows, and graduated in 1942. Green served in the US Army in Europe during World War II. Based on his father, the title character is a doctor and a man of principle whose life's work is about to be examined for the first time. Dr. Sam Abelman is tough and irascible, but he is dedicated healer and a good man guided by a belief in basic human decency -- the right doctor for the poor and disadvantaged who fill the slums and tenements of Brooklyn. His relationship with his patients is sometimes explosive, especially as the world is changing and becoming more dangerous. Into this mix comes a hard-driving television producer, who learns about Dr. Abelman and wants to feature the doctor on his reality-based network show, Americans USA. To get Abelman to participate is not easy, and it calls for schmoozing that verges on a complete con of the principled old man. "The Last Angry Man" is dedicated to "Samuel Greenberg, M.D. 1886-1952," the father of the author who practiced medicine in the heart of Brooklyn's cultural melting pot. I offer Combined shipping.
