Public Program, Author Talk My Fellow Soldiers: General John Pershing and the Americans Who Helped Win the Great War 20 May 2017.Saturday, 2:00PM - 3:00PM This program is FREE. Andrew Carroll, the Center for American War Letters at Chapman University

General Pershing, who led all of the American troops in Europe during World War I, surmounted enormous obstacles to turn the U.S. army into a modern fighting force, but he was often perceived as a harsh, humorless, and wooden leader. My Fellow Soldiers draws on a trove of little-known and newly uncovered letters and diaries to create a vivid and moving account of the American experience in the war. As part of his “Million Letters Campaign,” Carroll will also discuss extraordinary stories and letters from other wars.
