Join New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize finalist Garrett Graff for an incredibly moving virtual chat about capturing human drama.
Garrett Graff, an expert at capturing human drama, speaks on his oral histories, The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11 and When the Sea Came Alive: An Oral History of D-Day. In The Only Plane in the Sky, Graff draws on never-before-published transcripts, recently declassified documents, and original interviews and stories from nearly five hundred government officials, first responders, witnesses, survivors, friends, and family members to paint the most comprehensive, minute-by-minute account of the September 11 attacks yet, all told in the words of those who experienced the tragedy of that day. In his most recent work, When the Sea Came Alive, Graff explores the full impact of a world-changing event: D-Day, one of history’s most incredible military and human triumphs.
