HMTC hosted a program with the award-winning author and historian Michael Neiberg, who will talk about his recent book, When France Fell, and discuss what FDR’s Secretary of War Henry Stimson claimed was the “most shocking single event” of World War II. The book, which the Wall Street Journal described as a “mesmerizing account,” takes the reader through the Nazi invasion and the subsequent decision by the United States to work with Vichy France despite its pro-Nazi tendencies. (This program is held in conjunction with The Dolphin Bookshop, an independent bookstore in Port Washington since 1946.)
