Book Discussion | Communiques of General MacArthur: Pacific Campaigns, July 1942-February 1945 (online)
Historian James Ellman will speak on his latest book. After defeat by Japanese invaders and a harrowing escape from the Philippines, General Douglas MacArthur arrived in Australia in March 1942. Placed in charge of the newly created Southwest Pacific Area, MacArthur was desperate to retain his new post so that he might reconquer the Philippines and, in so doing, reclaim his honor. Thus began the daily issuance of communiques from his headquarters that related a grueling World War II campaign of more than a thousand days as Allied forces fought a relentless enemy from the northern shores of Australia to the heart of Manila. Never before available in print, this volume of communiques brings to life the regular updates issued to a public anxious for news of the great advance across the Southwest Pacific. These daily pronouncements present not only a record of the campaign but also a master class of public relations management as MacArthur attempted to portray himself as the great hero deserving of enduring fame regardless of the truth prevailing on the battlefield.

Book Discussion | The Work of Art: How Something Comes from Nothing
To New York journalists, Adam Moss (award-winning former editor of New York and The New York Times Magazine) is known as the "Editor of his Generation." When he retired from journalism in 2019, he turned to painting -- but found himself frustrated by the struggle known as "the creative process". To better understand the difficult steps which may lie between a dashed-off sketch and a finished canvas, Moss began to do in-depth interviews about talent, persistence, and inspiration with creatives of all kinds--from Stephen Sondheim to Roz Chast, from filmmaker Sofia Coppola to chef Samin Nosrat. These extraordinary conversations form the basis for Moss' bestselling book, presented here in multimedia form, followed by an author interview.
