Dispatches of D-Day
The Normandy invasion, legendary in myth and astounding in scope, comes to life as historian Jared Frederick resurrects long-forgotten tales of individual struggle, sacrifice, and community. In this vivid presentation, Frederick paints an eloquently moving portrait of the soldiers and civilians dramatically affected by what Dwight Eisenhower called ?the great crusade.? Among those personalities were intrepid correspondents who demonstrated the meaningful significance of the free press in wartime. The presentation will travel between the lines as the powerful saga of D-Day unfolds with insightful interpretation and profoundly enduring lessons.
