About “Unsung Patriot”
“Unsung Patriot” is the biography of Guy T. Viskniskki, the founder and first editor-in-chief of The Stars and Stripes, the newspaper for the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I. Virginia G. Vassallo is his granddaughter and based much of her book upon his unpublished memoirs and family history. “Unsung Patriot” weaves the struggles to establish The Stars and Stripes with a portrait of the man who was dynamic enough to accomplish the task. Guy was a complex man and the author grew up with many competing images of him. In writing this book she feels that she found her grandfather – a man she never knew.
