Rita Cosby's Book Quiet Hero: Secrets From My Father’s Past picked as bestseller by the New York Times . She uncovered a story of heroism and courage in her own family, detailing her father’s youth as a Polish Resistance fighter who battled the Nazis in World War II. Senator John McCain called it, “a loving, poignant tribute to her P.O.W. father and freedom.” Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said it’s “a beautiful tribute to the strength of the human spirit.” Lech Walesa, former President of Poland, said of Cosby’s father, “One of Poland’s great treasures has now been found.”

Rita Cosby

Too bad she shames her father by serving a reactionary news network that represents the antithesis of the progressivism that the Polish nation stands for.

Well she points out that her father was a Pole and not a Jew like all American media is focused on or believes Poland is where they all come from.

Good for Rita.

She has been on many TV and radio shows talking about her book and her father.

She seems to have a lot of friends in the media and not only talks to them as a guest but occasionally fills in for them from time to time talking about her "Quiet Hero" book.

She fills in occasionally as the radio host for Steve Malzberg's show. This past Memorial day she was filling in for Malzberg and dedicated at least a half hour on her book. She even called her father while she was hosting Malzberg's radio show. She is good at articulating American patriotism in conjunction with what her father went through. She and her father are thankful for America's help in getting her father out of Nazi German territory.


I have heard Rita talk about "Quiet Hero" while filling in for other radio hosts like Lou Dobbs. I like guys like Steve Malzberg and Lou Dobbs. They're good American patriots in my opinion.
