On Sunday, May 18, I will be giving a talk and signing copies of my book World War II Massachusetts at the Battleship Cove Museum in Fall River. This exceptional historic site is home to the battleship USS Massachusetts, which saw plenty of action in the war after being launched in Quincy in 1941.
Since the book’s publication in March 2024, I have traveled across the state sharing stories of the Massachusetts home front, meeting dozens of interested folks, including many senior citizens who lived through and remember many of the events described in my book. One of my most unique and memorable experiences was presenting at the American Heritage Museum in Hudson, just steps away from World War II-era armored carriers, tanks and planes.
Recently, the events of 1941-1945 are once again making headlines, with the observation of the 80th anniversary of Victory Europe (V-E) Day occurring this week, and the anniversary of the end of the war (V-J Day) coming in August. What better time to learn about this incredible period of our country’s history? Below is a link to the Museum’s website which contains details about my appearance. Both Battleship Cove and the American Heritage Museum are worth a trip any time of the year, but it’s always a boost to see friendly faces in the crowd when I speak. Don’t forgot, you can get copies of my book at any book retailer including the Blue Bunny in Dedham Square, where I can be found working behind the counter during the week.
