The author of two major oral histories about the turning points of World War II — the D-Day invasion of Europe as well as the Manhattan Project and the atomic bombings of Japan — Graff will discuss the legacy of the Greatest Generation, how World War II changed the world, and the first-person realities of fighting in the greatest conflict humanity has ever known.

Following the talk there will be a sale and signing of two of his books, “When the Sea Came Alive: An Oral History of D-Day” and “The Devil Reached Toward the Sky: An Oral History of the Making and Unleashing of the Atomic Bomb.”
