SUMMARY:David Michaelis: “The Wyeths\, Including Thoughts about Eleanor Roosevelt: A Biographer’s Notebook”
DESCRIPTION:David Michaelis\, close friend and New York neighbor of Islesboro summer resident Francie Train\, is a successful biographer of notable American figures whose interests varied widely.  He wrote of the Wyeth family whose members lived and painted on our nearby coast of Maine\, of Charles Schulz\, creator of PEANUTS cartoons\, and of Eleanor Roosevelt.  The “stunning” volume on Mrs Roosevelt was reviewed as the “first major volume of biogaphy in half a century” and was nominated for the Los Angeles Book prize for Biography.  His volume The Wyeths has been widely sought\, and his N.C. Wyeth won an Ambassador Book Award. Beyond biography\, Michaelis has written throughout his life: non-fiction\, short stories\, extensively about friendships with well-known figures of the 70’s & 80’s.  During those years he planned a movie (un-produced)\, edited The Paris Review\, wrote for Manhattan\, Inc. and volunteered for the New York Police Department.  His wisdom\, humor\, and wide interest in American lives is broadly admired. He will be accompanied by his wife\, Nancy Steiner\, documentary film producer.

SUMMARY:Ian Toll: “The Economic War Machine Supporting WWII in the Pacific”
DESCRIPTION:How did the US so quickly produce such an enormous war machine during WW II\, deploying huge military forces – men\, weapons\, and supplies efficiently across the expanse of the Pacific\, an ocean that covers 30% of the earth’s surface\, to win the largest naval battle in history? \nWe are pleased to welcome\, and hope to hear some answers – financial and global –  to that remarkable period pre-dating current time from military historian\, Ian Toll. Regarded as a great story-teller. Toll has written The Pacific Trilogy\, reported to be “military history at its best.”  His highly praised three-volume history ot the War narrates combats on the sea\, in the air\, on beaches\, a horrific time at sea\, and major challenges to power in Washington and Tokyo.  It has captivated readers of history and those of us who are ever-grateful for our American lives and developments of the late 20th Century.  TWILIGHT OF THE GODS\, War in the Western Pacific\, 1944-45\, is the final volume of the epic history.  It covers the period led by Douglas MacArthur in the Philippines\, featuring kamikaze attacks\, B-29 bombers\, the atomic blasts of that terrible defying\, yet successful strategic and diplomatic time.  A victory that won our US future for recent years. \nToll is a graduate of St. George’s School\, Georgetown University and Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
