About Book talk: William Martin: Saving Roosevelt: How Fictional Characters Meet America's Greatest Crisis...Join us to hear author, William Martin, speak about his latest work. William Martin's latest has been called "propulsive," "pedal-to-the-floor," and "absolutely splendid, a cinematic thriller that takes us across the United States" in the first days of the war. In November's 'Tuesday Talks' lecture, William Martin will discuss the fascinating historical context of the era of his new book and introduce us to some of the featured players, including FDR and Churchill, the Nazis of Southern California, a few movie stars, and the first readers of the script that became Casablanca.The book, DECEMBER '41, begins on the day after Pearl Harbor, as a German agent evades an FBI dragnet in Los Angeles and heads for Washington. His assignment? To kill Franklin Roosevelt when the president appears before 20,000 Americans to light the National tree on Christmas Eve. If he succeeds, he'll change the course of history.The lecture begins at 5pm on Tuesday, November 12th, and is held in the Mural Barn at the Atwood Museum located at 347 Stage Harbor Road in Chatham.
