SUMMARY:Robert K. Brigham THIS IS A TRUE WAR STORY
DESCRIPTION:Please join author Robert K. Brigham for a reading and signin
 g of his latest book\, This is a True War Story: My Improbable History w
 ith Vietnam. Robert K. Brigham has had a substantial career as a histori
 an of the Vietnam War\, with a hand in nine books\, a documentary\, publ
 ic history projects\, and more. While many a historian has felt compelle
 d at some point to write about a subject close to them personally\, Brig
 ham did not think he was doing that. But\, at age fifty-eight\, Brigham\
 , who had long known he was adopted\, discovered that he’d improbably an
 d unknowingly been studying and talking about his biological father\, Br
 uce Atwell\, a famous Marine combat photographer in Vietnam. In a story 
 shot through with echoes and shadows\, Brigham not only reveals his own 
 history as an adoptee but opens a startlingly fresh vantage on the fragi
 lity of American families\; the power of social norms and taboos to shap
 e lives\; and the forces that inequitably disrupt families\, not least o
 f them war. This program is brought to you in partnership with Merritt B
 ookstore. Copies of Brigham’s books will be available to purchase. Rober
 t. K. Brigham is the Shirley Ecker Boskey Professor of History and Inter
 national Relations at Vassar College. He is a specialist in the history 
 of US foreign policy\, particularly the Vietnam War. TO REGISTER CLICK H
