James Gabbe

James Gabbe — filmmaker, writer, editor, publisher, journalist — was born in 1944 in Middletown, New York. He served in the Vietnam War and described this experience in the novel LaRue’s Maneuvers — as well as writing a less fictionalized account for the Department of Defense Official History of the Vietnam War.

As a photojournalist James Gabbe captured the heart of New York in The History of Union Square. His screenplay, March — portraying the roots of Hitler’s rise to power — was optioned by Twentieth Century Fox. Two documentary projects are nearing completion: A More – or Less – Perfect Union, exploring the state of union/disunion in the United States; and To the Mountain Top, an in-depth look at China and India.

James Gabbe lives in New York.
