Fleet Admiral Nimitz Visits Historic Wyoming and Yellowstone Park | Webinar

Henry Sledge joins General Mike Hagee, USMC (Ret.) to reflect on how With the Old Breed continues to shape our understanding of the Pacific War. He will also discuss his new book, The Old Breed…The Complete Story Revealed, which draws on newly uncovered material from his father’s original manuscript and interweaves his own memories to add depth and context. The result is an intimate portrait of Eugene Sledge’s service, his struggles to return to civilian life, and the enduring impact of his story on future generations.

This is a webcast with renowned historians Jon Parshall and John C. McManus sharing their favorite stories about Admiral Nimitz. Members of the National Museum of the Pacific War were able to join the live chat and ask questions in real time, making this a truly interactive experience with the guest authors.
