His manuscript for “Dreams of My Comrades: The Story of MM1C Murray Jacobs,” had taken the top award in Category B, which included biographies, autobiographies and history. Zuckerman’s manuscript is now officially a book that is available at Amazon.com and its publisher’s website, Sunburypressstore.com. “The story is about a World War II veteran with post traumatic stress disorder who never told his war experience to another soul, not even his family, until he agreed to have me interview him,” Zuckerman said during a Park Record interview. “But throughout the course of the process, the story morphs into the story of my journey with him to understand the truth of the history that happened to him.” Zuckerman’s subject, whose name was changed in the book, is the father of one of his patients. “I do acupuncture in patient’s homes, and I had met him in 2011, just after he moved into his daughter’s home,” Zuckerman said. “It took some time to get to know him, but after we developed a rapport, he agreed to allow me to interview him.” The veteran agreed to the interviews on four stipulations. “First, I couldn’t use his real name,” Zuckerman said. “Therefore the name that appears in the subtitle isn’t his real name.” The author also couldn’t use the name of his children or divulge the details of the conversations with his daughter or anyone else in his family until after he died. PARK RECORD FILE PHOTO Scott Zuckerman, a Park City doctor and winner of the Utah Arts & Museum’s 2015 Utah Original Writing Competition, just published his transcript as “Dreams of My Comrades: The Story of MM1C Murray Jacobs.” “The last condition was I could not publish the book until after he died,” Zuckerman said. The subject’s story is centered on his service in the Pacific Theater of World War II. “He was in a branch of the Navy called the Seabees,” Zuckerman said. Seabees were originally known as the C.B.s, which stood for construction battalion, and they were the brainchild of Read Admiral Ben Moreell, who was from Salt Lake City. “They were construction men who were militarized, because private contractors could have been shot as spies,” Zuckerman said. “The admiral also realized it was easier to militarize construction workers rather than teach the military how to run the equip- ment.” Zuckerman’s subject originally worked at Bingham Copper Mine before he got into the military. “He had a deferment because he worked there and getting copper out of the mine was essential to the war effort, but he elected to enlist,” Zuckerman said. The interviews started in Dec. 2011, when the subject was 95. The depth of the interviews took Zuckerman aback. “He did reveal things such as war atrocities to me that I had not heard as part of the Word War II history,” the author said. “Without going into specifics, there was the mistreatment of prisoners on both sides. This was something he described at very vivid detail.” Please see Biography, C-3 We invite you to join Park City's most exciting new community where you can find solitude and room to breathe while living only minutes away from Historic Main Street.
