SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: GARRETT M. GRAFF
DESCRIPTION:Don’t forget to register for this incredibly moving virtual chat with New York Times bestselling author Garrett Graff! An expert at capturing the human drama\, Graff will speak about his body of work with particular focus on his oral histories\, The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11 and When the Sea Came Alive: An Oral History of D-Day. \nMuch has been written and said about the terrorist attacks of September 11\, 2001\, and the profound impact they had on America and the world. But those names\, stories\, and memories have never before been collected in one place to tell the full\, 360-degree story of what happened that day\, and in the days after. In The Only Plane in the Sky\, award-winning journalist Garrett Graff draws on never-before-published transcripts\, recently declassified documents\, and original interviews and stories from nearly five hundred government officials\, first responders\, witnesses\, survivors\, friends\, and family members to paint the most comprehensive\, minute-by-minute account of the September 11 attacks yet\, all told in the words of those who experienced that dramatic and tragic day. \nIn his most recent work\, When the Sea Came Alive\, Graff explores the full impact of a world changing event: D-Day\, one of history’s greatest and most unbelievable military and human triumphs. Though the full campaign lasted just over a month\, the surprise landing of over 150\,000 Allied troops on the morning of June 6\, 1944\, is understood to be the moment that turned the tide for the Allied forces and ultimately led to the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II. This book dives deep into the complexities—from the secret creation of landing plans by top government and military officials and organization of troops\, to the moment the boat doors opened to reveal the beach where men fought for their lives and the future of the free world. \nGraff’s work\, filled with impressive detail\, captures a human drama and history like no other.
