Pulitzer Prize-winning Rick Atkinson comes to Grand Valley tomorrow night at 7 PM in the Eberhard Center for the Hauenstein Centers final American Conversations lecture of the season! War is traditionally depicted as tactics, moves on a chessboard, the collision of brute power and military technology. But war is also about character and personality, individuals making choices and decisions in the heat of battle, inspired, calamitous, unfortunate and plain lucky. ~From the New York Times review of Atkinsons book. Atkinson will give an account of the final campaign of the Allies to take Europe back during WWII, with wide range of fascinating characters from presidents and generals, to war-weary lieutenants and terrified teenage riflemen. nytimes/2013/05/26/books/review/the-guns-at-last-light-by-rick-atkinson.html?_r=0
