Join us to watch this recorded interview with author Garrett Graff...


 

.....Stay to have your say in the discussion: Graff has written two books based on oral histories of D-Day and 9/11. Much of History is written long after its events unfold, relaying the story of the victors. Can oral history, with its immediate in-the-moment eye-witnessing of events, provide a different perspective? Given your impressions of D-Day and 9/11, do you believe the impact of these events on American History was comparable?
