SUMMARY:The International Conference on World War II - Free online
DESCRIPTION:The National WWII Museum in New Orleans has hosted The International Conference on World War II since 2006—bringing together the best and brightest scholars\, authors\, historians\, and witnesses to history from around the globe to discuss key battles\, personalities\, strategies\, issues\, and controversies of the war that changed the world. In addition to the many returning presenters\, the Conference Planning Committee makes an effort to invite new historians each year to share their latest findings. \n \nJoining the featured speakers are hundreds of attendees who travel from all over the world to learn more about this epic event. With an emphasis on nonacademic presentations and encouraging presenters to be more conversational than presentational\, the Conference strives to connect with the audience through engaging discussions\, question and answer periods\, book signings\, and receptions throughout the weekend. \nWith the generous and continued support of the Museum’s longstanding partner and Conference presenting sponsor\, the Pritzker Military Foundation\, on behalf of Pritzker Military Museum & Library\, The International Conference on World War II remains the world’s leading convention of WWII experts\, students\, and enthusiasts. \nClick here for all details and to register \nFriday\, March 5\, 2021\n9:00 a.m. – 9:15 a.m.International Conference on World War II Opening\nWelcome Remarks – Stephen Watson\, President & CEO\, The National WWII Museum\nOpening Remarks – TBD\, Pritzker Military Museum & Library\n\n9:15 a.m. – 10:15 a.m.Drawing Fire: The Editorial Cartoons of Bill MauldinA conversation with Todd Depastino\, PhD and Rob Citino\, PhD\n10:15 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.Break\n10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.Air Power in AsiaModerator – Conrad Crane\, PhD\nFirst Fighter Pilots: The Flying Tigers – Sam Kleiner\nRaining Fire: B-29s over Japan – James M.
