SUMMARY:"Ahab's Rolling Sea: A Natural History of Moby-Dick\," with Richard J. King
DESCRIPTION:Author and SEA professor Richard J. King talks about his new book\, “Ahab’s Rolling Sea: A Natural History of Moby-Dick” and its connections to Falmouth whaling captain Lewis Lawrence. Captain Lawrence sailed the Pacific in the same era as Melville. His unique\, data-heavy logbook and chart reveal how 19th-century whalemen understood their impact on whales and the rest of the global ocean. “Ahab’s Rolling Sea” tells the story of Melville’s relationship with the watery world: what he witnessed and read\, and what he twisted for Ishmael’s view of the early years of the Anthropocene. Books will be available for sale. The author\, also an illustrator\, will personalize each book with an original watercolor cartoon. \nRichard J. King is Visiting Associate Professor in Maritime History and Literature at the Sea Education Association. He is the author of “Lobster” and “The Devil’s Cormorant: A Natural History\,” rated a Library Journal best sci-tech book of the year. \n  \n“Ahab’s Rolling Sea is a wide-ranging\, highly personal\, richly eclectic\, and extremely well-researched book. There’s a Melvillean romance here\, and it sits especially well with King’s love and empathy for human as well as natural history. A contemporary\, witty\, almost postmodern field guide.” –Philip Hoare\, author of “The Sea Inside and The Whale” \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Christmas Traditions in Boston\, with Anthony Sammarco
DESCRIPTION:In 1659\, the General Court of Massachusetts Bay Colony banned the celebration of Christmas because of its seasonal excess. (Bah humbug!) It wasn’t until the mid 19th century when a German immigrant introduced the Christmas tree and Louis Prang brought his colorful Christmas cards to the city\, that Bostonians began to show some holiday spirit. This festive book recalls it all: caroling and hand bell ringing on Beacon Hill\, the Nativity scene and display on Boston Common\, hot fudge sundaes at Baileys and the Enchanted Village of Saint Nicholas at Jordan Marsh\, once New England’s largest store. \n

SUMMARY:This Land is Their Land\, with David Silverman
DESCRIPTION:In March 1621\, when Plymouth’s survival was hanging in the balance\, the Wampanoag sachem (or chief)\, Ousamequin (Massasoit)\, and Plymouth’s governor\, John Carver\, declared their people’s friendship for each other and a commitment to mutual defense. Later that autumn\, the English gathered their first successful harvest and lifted the specter of starvation. Ousamequin and 90 of his men then visited Plymouth for the “First Thanksgiving.” The treaty remained operative until King Philip’s War in 1675\, when 50 years of uneasy peace between the two parties would come to an end. \n400 years after that famous meal\, historian David J. Silverman sheds profound new light on the events that led to the creation\, and bloody dissolution\, of this alliance. Focusing on the Wampanoag Indians\, Silverman deepens the narrative to consider tensions that developed well before 1620 and lasted long after the devastating war-tracing the Wampanoags’ ongoing struggle for self-determination up to this very day. \nThis unsettling history reveals why some modern Native people hold a Day of Mourning on Thanksgiving\, a holiday which celebrates a myth of colonialism and white proprietorship of the United States. This Land is Their Land shows that it is time to rethink how we\, as a pluralistic nation\, tell the history of Thanksgiving.

SUMMARY:"Short Skirts\, Oh My!  A History of Women's Rights" with Anne Barrett
DESCRIPTION:When Abigail Adams begged her husband to “remember the ladies” in drafting a new code of laws\, John wrote back that he “could not but laugh” at her extraordinary suggestion.  While it took almost 150 years\, in the early part of the 20th century\, women were working\, voting\, and experiencing the first taste of freedoms unheard of before. In this talk\, Anne Barret traces the exciting social and historical milestones in the fight for women’s rights. \n— I long to hear that you have declared an independency — and by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies\, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could. If perticuliar care and attention is not paid to the Laidies we are determined to foment a Rebelion\, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice\, or Representation.”— Letter from Abigail Adams to John Adams\, March 31\, 1776

SUMMARY:The Game: Harvard\, Yale and America in 1968\, with George Howe Colt
DESCRIPTION:On November 23\, 1968\, there was a turbulent and memorable football game: the season-ending clash between Harvard and Yale. The final score was 29-29. To some of the players\, it was a triumph; to others a tragedy. And to many\, the reasons had as much to do with one side’s miraculous comeback in the game’s final forty-two seconds as it did with the months that preceded it\, months that witnessed the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy\, police brutality at the Democratic National Convention\, inner-city riots\, campus takeovers\, and\, looming over everything\, the war in Vietnam. \nGeorge Howe Colt’s The Game is the story of that iconic American year\, as seen through the young men who lived it and were changed by it. One player had recently returned from Vietnam. Two were members of the radical antiwar group SDS. There was one NFL prospect who quit to devote his time to black altruism; another who went on to be Pro-Bowler Calvin Hill. There was a guard named Tommy Lee Jones\, and fullback who dated a young Meryl Streep. They played side by side and together forged a moment of startling grace in the midst of the storm.

SUMMARY:1620: The First Year with Christopher Daley
DESCRIPTION:They came seeking religious freedom.  They found an untamed\, inhospitable and dangerous wilderness. They struggled with deprivation\, disease and death. Through the grace of God and with the help of the “People of the Dawn\,” they survived. As the 400th Anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims approaches\, travel back to 1620 and relive their first year: the difficult voyage over the Atlantic\, the landing on Cape Cod shores\, the “first encounter” with the Wampanoag Nation\, the move onward to Plymouth\, the first settlement\, and the first harsh winter that took nearly half  the colony. First-hand accounts\, 19th century maps and satellite imagery reveal the places the Pilgrims explored on the Cape…and might inspire you to follow in their footsteps.

SUMMARY:Preserving Old Ironsides Across Three Centuries with Margherita Desy
DESCRIPTION:The USS Constitution is the world’s oldest commissioned naval vessel still afloat.  President George Washington named the wooden-hulled\, three-masted heavy frigate of the United States Navy after the United States Constitution. She was launched in 1797\, one of six original frigates authorized for construction by the Naval Act of 1794. The vessel is most noted for her actions during the War of 1812 against the United Kingdom\, when she captured numerous merchant ships and defeated five British warships\, one of which earned her the nickname “Old Ironsides.” Margherita M. Desy leads this illustrated presentation which looks at the long history of rebuilding and preserving the American icon\, from the earliest years of the 19th century\, right up to the first 21st century dry docking of the ship in 2015. She is a curator and historian of New England maritime and early U.S. Navy histories and is employed by the Naval History & Heritage Command Detachment Boston as historian for USS Constitution.  She has worked for Historic New England\, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History\, the Harriet Beecher Stowe House in Hartford\, and\, for 20 years\, at Mystic Seaport Museum in Mystic\, Connecticut. She has been published in scholarly and popular journals and has been script advisor and on-camera historian for several PBS television shows and documentaries broadcast in the U.S. and Europe.

SUMMARY:"Mr. President\, How Long Must We Wait?: Alice Paul\, Woodrow Wilson and the Fight for the Right to Vote" with Tina Cassidy
DESCRIPTION:The day before Woodrow Wilson took the presidential oath of office in 1913\, he expected a throng of onlookers when he arrived in Washington.  He was upstaged by one woman–twenty-five-year old Alice Paul—and 8\,000 suffragists\, who marched with banners and floats down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House. A half million spectators\, supporters and detractors watched.  The New York Times called it “one of the most impressively beautiful spectacles ever staged in this country.”  The new president called the spectacle’s organizer for a one-on-one meeting. It was the first of many discussions between the two\, but none led to equality.  In 1917\, Paul and over 1\,000 “Silent Sentinels” began picketing the White House. The Washington Post reported that their goal was to make it “impossible for the President to enter or leave the White House without encountering a sentinel bearing some device pleading the suffrage cause.” One of those signs read\, “Mr. President\, How Long Must Women Wait for Liberty?” Well\, they waited until June 4\, 1919 when the 19th Amendment passed Congress. Now\, a century later\, this compelling book weaves together two storylines: the little-known suffragette and the well-known president.  While they seemed to be complete opposites\, they actually had more in common that either could imagine. \n\nEight Cousins Books\, our co-host\, will have copies of this book at the talk.\nThe book will also be available in the store at 189 Main Street in Falmouth.

SUMMARY:Intrigues\, Lies and Deceptions: Allied Strategic Deception During the Second World War with Michael McNaught
DESCRIPTION:It took an untold number of weapons to win World War II:  tanks\, submachine guns\, flame throwers\, rifles\, and grenades.  But one of the Allies’ most powerful weapons was the art of deception.  Elaborate plots\, phantom armies\, fictious radio transmissions\, controlled leaks\, double agents and other clever ruses spun a deadly web of deception for the enemy. Local historian Michael McNaught will unravel some of the greatest military secrets and strategies taking place off the battlefield at this fascinating talk.

SUMMARY:NEW LOCATION: Massachusetts in the Women's Suffrage Movement with Barbara Berenson
DESCRIPTION:NEW LOCATION:\nFirst Congregational Church\n68 Main Street\, Falmouth\nLong before the Civil War\, Lucy Stone and other Massachusetts abolitionists opposed women’s exclusion from political life. They launched the organized movement at the first National Woman’s Rights Convention\, held in Worcester. After the war\, state activists founded the Boston-based American Woman Suffrage Association and Woman’s Journal to lead campaigns across the country. Their activities laid the foundation for the next generation of suffragists to triumph over tradition. Author Barbara Berenson gives these revolutionary reformers the attention they deserve in this compelling and engaging story and discusses the battle over historical memory that long obscured the state’s leading role. \n  \n  \n\nEight Cousins Books\, our co-host\, will have copies of this book at the talk.\nThe book will also be available in the store at 189 Main Street in Falmouth.

SUMMARY:Anxiety Warrior with Brian Beneduce
DESCRIPTION:Brian Beneduce had just gotten married and was boarding the plane for his honeymoon trip. Although his bride\, Robbie\, knew he had a fear of flying\, she had no idea what was going through his mind as the plane rumbled down the runway and lifted into the sky. The Thing—the three-headed beast inside him—began to take over\, leading him to pray the plane would fall out of the sky and crash so he could finally relieve himself of his fear. Throughout history\, great minds like poet Emily Dickinson\, billionaire Howard Hughes\, artist Edvard Munch and novelist Marcel Proust have battled the debilitating effects of anxiety and panic disorder related to agoraphobia.  In this compelling new release\, Brian Beneduce candidly shares his roller coaster search for help and relief and the coping mechanisms he eventually learned to keep his severe anxiety at bay and become a successful businessman. \nWith a forward by Casey Sherman\, NY Times bestselling author of “The Finest Hours”

SUMMARY:George Marshall: Defender of the Republic\, with David Roll
DESCRIPTION:Winston Churchill called him World War II’s “organizer of victory.” Harry Truman said he was “the greatest military man that this country ever produced.” Even as a young officer\, George Marshall was heralded as a genius.  During WWI\, his reputation grew when he planned and executed a nighttime movement of more than a half million troops from one battlefield to another that led to the armistice. Between wars\, he helped modernize combat training and re-staffed the U.S. Army’s officer corps with the men who would lead in the next decades. But as WWII loomed\, it was the role of army chief of staff in which Marshall’s intellect and backbone were put to the test\, when his blind commitment to duty would run up against the realities of Washington politics. Long seen as a stoic\, almost statuesque figure\, he emerges in these pages as a man both remarkable and deeply human\, thanks to newly discovered sources. Set against the backdrop of five major conflicts—two world wars\, Palestine\, Korea\, and the Cold War—Marshall’s education in military\, diplomatic\, and political power\, replete with their nuances and ambiguities\, runs parallel with America’s emergence as a global superpower. The result is a defining account of one of our most consequential leaders. \n\nEight Cousins Books\, our co-host\, will have copies of this book at the talk.\nThe book will also be available in the store at 189 Main Street in Falmouth.

SUMMARY:Falmouth's Forgotten Natives\, with Connor Cobb
DESCRIPTION:  \nWho lived in what we now call Falmouth before the town was settled by British colonists? What happened to those natives after colonists became neighbors? With the help of evidence from town and state archives we can begin to piece together Falmouth’s Native American past\, from the settlement of the town up until the late 18th century. In this talk Connor Cobb\, a Falmouth resident and lover of local history\, will shed light on a forgotten and overlooked chapter of the town’s past.

SUMMARY:"Underground: A Human History of the Worlds Beneath Our Feet" with Will Hunt
DESCRIPTION:Hold onto your seat because you’ll never believe what’s under your feet. That’s right\, we’re going underground. Our tour guide is Will Hunt\, a man obsessed with anything below ground. It all started when he was sixteen years old. After discovering an abandoned tunnel that ran beneath his house in Providence\, Rhode Island\, he was hopelessly hooked on exploring underground worlds: from the derelict subway stations and sewers of New York City to sacred caves\, catacombs\, tombs\, bunkers and ancient underground cities around the world. In a narrative spanning continents and epochs\, Hunt follows a cast of subterraneaphiles who have dedicated themselves to this type of investigation. He tracks the origins of life with a team of NASA microbiologists a mile beneath the Black Hills\, camps out for three days with urban explorers in the catacombs and sewers of Paris\, descends with an Aboriginal family into a 35\,000-year-old mine in the Australian outback\, and glimpses a sacred sculpture molded by Paleolithic artists in the depths of a cave in the Pyrenees.  We’re quite sure at the end of this talk\, you’ll never look at the ground the same way again. \n\nEight Cousins Books\, our co-host\, will have copies of this book at the talk.\nThe book will also be available in the store at 189 Main Street in Falmouth.

SUMMARY:Paul Clerici\, "A History of the Falmouth Road Race"
DESCRIPTION:SPECIAL FREE TALK\nHow many stories start like this? “It all began in a bar a long\, long time ago…” Well\, this 7-mile road race–which hits especially close to home–started just like that. Since then participation has swelled from 100 runners to 13\,000 annually\, bringing legendary Olympians and champions to Falmouth for the chance to compete. The history of this fascinating race spans 47 years\, and Clerici\, an award-winning journalist and freelance writer\, will share the behind-the-scenes tales and tidbits he’s culled from hundreds of interviews with runners and supporters connected with Falmouth’s famous 7-miler. \nHear  about the runner who swam across the harbor. Learn how legendary coach Bill Squires and his Greater Boston Track Club athletes ignited the race’s competition and how the race’s inspiration – Olympic gold medalist Frank Shorter – came to Falmouth.  Find out why the course distance ranged from 6.9 to 7.5 miles and why 6-time champion Joan Benoit Samuelson nearly missed one year due to her race-morning boat ride. \nThis compelling story is told through nearly 80 vintage and race-day photographs that span decades\, including some which have never been published before. Race founder Tommy Leonard wrote the foreword. The book also includes nearly 100 exclusive interviews with legendary Olympians and champions\, such as Bill Rodgers\, Frank Shorter\, Alberto Salazar\, Joan Benoit Samuelson\, Jen Rhines\, Lynn Jennings\, Catherine Ndereba\, Craig Blanchette and Tatyana McFadden. \nAuthor Paul Clerici\, who has run the Falmouth Road Race several times and the Boston Marathon 23 years in a row\, is also the author of the “Boston Marathon History by the Mile” and “History of the Greater Boston Track Club” books. Books will be available for purchase and personalization.

SUMMARY:Sand and Soil: Creating Beautiful Gardens on Cape Cod with C.L. Fornari
DESCRIPTION:TO BE HELD AT THE FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH\n68 MAIN STREET\, FALMOUTH \nWhile some aspects of Cape and Islands gardening have remained the same for decades\, there are other facets of growing in this area that have changed. Warmer falls and newly introduced insects or diseases present challenges or prompt changes in some landscaping practices.  Data from the latest research and adjustments in how we choose to support wildlife or protect our waterways mean altering old ways of maintaining yards and gardens. And many new plant varieties mean greater choices for our landscapes. Learn about what’s new and be inspired by photos of lovely plants and gardens. \nBIO:  C.L. Fornari is the author of eight books and numerous articles\, including her latest\, Sand and Soil; Creating Beautiful Gardens on Cape Cod and the Islands.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: "The Civil Wars of Julia Ward Howe" with Elaine Showalter
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED:\nTo commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of the feminist pioneer and writer of Battle Hymn of the Republic\nHeiress. Poet. Author. Lecturer. Feminist. Pacifist. Abolitionist. Julia Ward Howe wrote a mildly shocking sexual novel that was published to good reviews. She also wrote the unforgettable words to the Civil War anthem\, Battle Hymn of the Republic\, after visiting the Union troops in Washington\, DC the previous day.  She helped to establish Mother’s Day and became a groundbreaking figure in the abolitionist and suffrage movements. There wasn’t anything Julia couldn’t do.  That is—as long as she kept up with her domestic chores. Born in 1819\, Julia’s world was very much a man’s world.  She married Samuel Gridley Howe\, a handsome accomplished doctor\, renowned for his work at the Perkins Institute for the Blind. But he was a domineering husband who believed Julia should find all her happiness in her home and children. He did everything he could to stifle her creativity and independence; their entire marriage was a miserable power struggle. Upon his death\, she wrote in her journal\, “My new life begins today.” And\, for the next forty years\, she led a very remarkable life for her time…and any time. \n\nEight Cousins Books\, our co-host\, will have copies of this book at the talk.\nThe book will also be available in the store at 189 Main Street in Falmouth.

SUMMARY:The Back Channel: A Memoir of American Diplomacy and the Case for Its Renewal\, with William Burns
DESCRIPTION:William J. Burns spent three decades as an American diplomat and played a central role in the most consequential diplomatic episodes of his time.  Our time.  The bloodless end of the Cold War.  The collapse of post-Cold War relations with Putin’s Russia. The post-9/11 tumult in the Middle East.  The secrete nuclear talks with Iran.  With compelling detail\, incisive analysis and newly declassified cables and memos\, he recounts some of the seminal moments of his career and delivers a rare look at diplomacy in action. His dispatches from war-torn Chechnya and Qaddafi’s bizarre camp in the Libyan desert\, and his warnings of the “Perfect Storm” the Iraq War would unleash will reshape our understanding of history—and inform the policy debates of the future.  Burns sketches the contours of effective American leadership in a world that resembles neither the zero-sum Cold War contest of his early years as a diplomat nor the “unipolar moment” of American primacy that followed. He also delivers a powerful reminder\, in a time of great turmoil\, of the enduring importance of diplomacy. \nAdvance praise for The Back Channel\n\n“Bill Burns is simply one of the finest U.S. diplomats of the last half century. The Back Channel demonstrates his rare and precious combination of strategic insight and policy action. It is full of riveting historical detail but also\, more important\, shrewd insights into how we can advance our interests and values in a world where U.S. leadership remains the linchpin of international order.”—James A. Baker III\n\n“From one of America’s consummate diplomats\, The Back Channel is an incisive and sorely needed case for the revitalization of diplomacy—what Burns wisely describes as our ‘tool of first resort.’”—Henry Kissinger \n“Burns not only offers a vivid account of how American diplomacy works\, he also puts forward a compelling vision for its future that will surely inspire new generations to follow his incredible example.”—Madeleine K. Albright

SUMMARY:"The Age of Living Machines" with Susan Hockfield
DESCRIPTION:The former president of MIT talks about the next\ntechnology revolution and how it will change our lives. \nA century ago\, discoveries in physics came together with engineering to produce an array of astonishing new technologies: radios\, telephones\, televisions\, aircraft\, radar\, nuclear power\, computers\, the Internet\, and a host of still-evolving digital tools. These technologies reshaped our world so radically that we can no longer conceive of life without them. Now\, world-renowned neuroscientist Susan Hockfield says new discoveries in biology will lead to another array of almost inconceivable technologies―next-generation products that have the potential to be every bit as paradigm shifting as the twentieth century’s digital wonders. Virus-built batteries. Protein-based water filters. Cancer-detecting nanoparticles. Mind-reading bionic limbs. Computer-engineered crops. In this fascinating talk\, you’ll learn about today’s most exciting new developments and the scientists and engineers who helped create them. Together\, they have the potential to overcome some of the greatest humanitarian\, medical and environmental challenges of our time. \n  \n\nEight Cousins Books\, our co-host\, will have copies of this book at the talk.\nThe book will also be available in the store at 189 Main Street in Falmouth.

SUMMARY:Grassroots Baseball with Jean Fruth along with Jeff Idelson
DESCRIPTION:Jeff Idelson\, Retiring President of the NBA Hall of Fame and Museum\nPeter Gammons\, Celebrated Sportswriter & Media Personality\nJean Fruth\, Award-Winning Photographer\n\n  \n\n\nWhen Jeff Idelson\, the retiring president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum\, calls–you pick up the phone. Fast. When he pitches you an idea for a talk about a new baseball book at the Museums on the Green\, you don’t hesitate. You say\, “Absolutely\, what date works for you?” When he asks if he can bring a celebrated sportswriter and an award-winning photographer along\, you go straight to baseball heaven. On June 27\, we’re going on a grassroots journey of baseball–from sandlots to big-time ballparks–with three baseball aficionados. \n\n\nJeff  Idelson began his professional career with the Boston Red Sox in 1986\, then spent five years as director of media relations and publicity for the New York Yankees from 1989-1993. In 1994\, he joined the Baseball Hall of Fame as director of public relations and promotions before being named president in 2008. \nPeter Gammons was a national baseball columnist for The Boston Globe and the newspaper’s  main journalist covering the Boston Red Sox for many years. He spent twenty years with ESPN as a columnist and in-studio analyst.  The Baseball Writers’ Association of America  has honored him for outstanding baseball writing.  He’s also authored numerous baseball books\, including Beyond the Sixth Game. \nJean Fruth’s been shooting baseball for the past 15 years\, covering the San Francisco Giants and Oakland A’s.  Now\, she’s helping to build the NBHF Museum’s profile and photo archive. This new book features more than 250 of the best images from amateur games across the country and hotbeds of baseball around the world. Each chapter opens with a portrait of a baseball legend and a first-person essay recounting his early memories of playing the game. Some of the stars highlighted include Whitey Ford\, Vladimir Guerrero\, Hank Aaron\, Randy Johnson\, Nolan Ryan\, and Ichiro Suzuki. An introduction by Cal Ripken\, Jr.\, a foreword by Steve Wulf and an afterword by Johnny Bench\, hit this book out of the park. Grab a seat in the stands. \nWe’ll be talking about this talk for years. \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:The First Wave: The D-Day Warriors Who Led the Way to Victory\, with Alex Kershaw
DESCRIPTION:It all started in the predawn darkness of June 6\, 1944. They were the first to fight when the stakes were highest and the odds longest. Meet the remarkable men who carried out D-Day’s most perilous missions: the first American paratrooper to touch down on Normandy soil; the glider pilot who braved antiaircraft fire to crash-land mere yards from the vital Pegasus Bridge; the brothers who led their troops onto Juno Beach under withering fire; and the French commando\, returning to his native land\, who fought to destroy German strongholds on Sword Beach and beyond. Experience the sheer grit of the Rangers who scaled Pointe du Hoc and the astonishing courage of the airborne soldiers who captured the Merville Gun Battery in the face of devastating enemy counterattacks. These men would determine the fate of the invasion of Hitler’s Fortress Europe—and the very history of the twentieth century. And\, Alex Kershaw\, who has built close friendships with D-Day survivors and written several New York Times best-sellers about World War II\, is the one to tell their story.  Plus\, stay tuned to Netflix next year. His 2012 book\, The Liberator\, is being made into a drama series. \n

SUMMARY:"Indianapolis: The True Story of the Worst Sea Disaster in US Naval History" By Lynn Vincent and Sara Vladic
DESCRIPTION:In 1945\, the USS Indianapolis completed a top-secret\, high-speed trip from California to the Pacific Islands to deliver parts of Little Boy\, the first nuclear weapon ever used in combat.  It was the most highly classified naval mission of the war–but it was not their most dangerous.  Just days later\, two Japanese torpedoes struck the ship when she was sailing alone in the center of the Philippine Sea. The Indianapolis immediately turned into a fiery cauldron and sunk within minutes–300 miles from the nearest land.  While 300 men went down with the ship\, nearly 900 made it into the water alive. For the next five nights and four days\, the men battled injuries\, sharks\, dehydration\, insanity\, and eventually each other. Only 316 survived. This isn’t a sinking tale. Thanks to a decade of original research and interviews with 107 survivors and eyewit­nesses\, Lynn Vincent and Sara Vladic tell the complete\, far more complicated and compelling story of the ship\, her crew\, and their final mission to save one of their own. \n\nEight Cousins Books\, our co-host\, will have copies of this book at the talk.\nThe book will also be available in the store at 189 Main Street in Falmouth.

SUMMARY:"War and Peace: FDR's Final Odyssey\, D-Day to Yalta\, 1943-1945" with Nigel Hamilton
DESCRIPTION:He wrote the Mantle of Command: FDR at War\, 1941-1942\, which was long-listed for the National Book Award.  He followed it with Commander in Chief: FDR’s Battle with Churchill\, 1943.  We were fortunate to talk to him here after each book was released. Now best-selling and award-winning biographer Nigel Hamilton has completed his three-part saga of FDR at war…and we’ll get to meet him once again at the Museums on the Green for the stunning conclusion. This is a story of triumph and tragedy.  Now\, years after the D-Day landings he championed\, Hamilton helps us see World War II’s key strategist in action. We also see how the president’s D-Day triumph turned to personal tragedy.  Yet\, even as his health steadily declined\, during the final months he remained US Commander in Chief\, Roosevelt attempted to prepare the United Nations for an American-backed postwar world order at Hawaii\, Quebec and Yalta…which makes his accomplishments even more impressive. This book took Hamilton a decade to complete. Former United States Secretary of Defense James N. Mattis\, calls it\, “A first-class\, lens-changing work.” We think it’s the perfect way to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion. \n\nEight Cousins Books\, our co-host\, will have copies of this book at the talk.\nThe book will also be available in the store at 189 Main Street in Falmouth.

SUMMARY:"When Montezuma Met Cortes: The True Story of the Meeting That Changed History" with Matthew Restall
DESCRIPTION:Here’s what most can agree on. On November 8\, 1519\, the Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortés first met Montezuma\, the Aztec emperor\, at the entrance to the capital city of Tenochtitlan. As the story goes\, the bold and brilliant military genius and a few hundred plucky conquistadors overcame overwhelming odds to defeat the mighty Aztec empire and create a wave of colonial invasions across the hemisphere. But is that what really happened? In this sweeping revisionist account\, Matthew Restall busts more than a few myths about this pivotal period in the history of the Americas. \n  \n  \n  \n\nEight Cousins Books\, our co-host\, will have copies of this book at the talk.\nThe book will also be available in the store at 189 Main Street in Falmouth. \n\n  \n
