(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- Award-winning journalist Garrett M. Graff's ability to place world-shaking events in the perspectives of the people they affect have produced some of the most gripping narratives of the past two decades. Join this remarkable writer for his Ocean County Library Virtual Author Talk on Tuesday, September 10, 2024. The event begins at 2:00pm.
Garrett will place special emphasis on his two deeply personalized accounts, The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11 (2019) and this year’s When the Sea Came Alive: An Oral History of D-Day, available in print, audiobook and eBook formats at the Ocean County Library.
The Only Plane in the Sky offers a chilling, comprehensive account of the September 11 attacks and their aftermath through newly declassified documents, previously unissued transcripts and personal accounts by survivors, witnesses, victims’ friends and families, government officials and first responders.
When the Sea Came Alive immerses readers in the complexities of creating and executing the largest amphibious military invasion ever attempted, from plans in war rooms to the dropping of landing craft doors that revealed the beaches where the life-and-death struggle for freedom ensued.
The former Politico editor, Pulitzer Prize finalist and contributor to Wired and CNN has written extensively about national security, politics and technology. He currently directs the cyber initiative of the Aspen Institute.
