A resident of Glen Rock for more than 40 years, Koster is also the author of the History Channel two-hour documentary, “Custer Survivor: The End of a Myth, the Beginning of a Legend,” and was a featured commentator on the 2011 History Channel show “Custer’s Last Man: I Survived Little Bighorn,” along with best-selling author James Donovan, author of “A Terrible Glory,” Doulas Ellision, author of “Sole Survivor”’ and Professor Louise Barnett of Rutgers University, author of “Atrocity and American Military Justice in Southeast Asia.” “Operation Snow” is also being developed into a documentary film at a date to be announced. Negotiations for translation into several languages are in progress.
