Book Talk Aboard Battleship USS Texas
I'll give a talk aboard the now-104-year old, preserved battleship USS Texas at a time to be determined on August 4. Texas, which appears in the Prologue, Chapter 18, and the Epilogue of Advocating Overlord, escorted the fast convoy surge of troops across the Atlantic and had a special mission on D-Day in support of U.S. Army Rangers. To speak on the book where it happened will be both an honor and a rare opportunity.

Commemorating the 75th anniversary of D-Day, the Invasion of Normandy, an evening book talk on Advocating Overlord to the New York Military Affairs Symposium (NYMAS). That so many of the soldiers, sailors, and airmen who participated in D-Day and the battles that followed departed from the Ports of New York and New Jersey makes this heart-of-Manhattan venue especially appropriate. I'll be illustrating this free talk with maps and photographs. Hope to see you there.
