The Pritzker Literature Award honors writers whose work adds to the public's understanding of military history and the role played by the military in civil society. In the tradition of historians dating back to ancient times, these authors and scholars demonstrate the numerous ways to write about military history. The surreal fiction of Tim O'Brien's Vietnam is just pages from an in-depth look at General George S. Patton by today's leading biographer, Carlo D'Este. Max Hastings and Rick Atkinson use their backgrounds to add a journalistic touch to modern studies of World War I and World War II, respectively. Gerhard Weinberg examines global leaders during World War II as Allan Millett discusses the developing technology that allowed them to further their causes. And James McPherson, the preeminent living Civil War scholar examines crisis in America with accessible and articulate literary skill. 650 0 $a Military history. $9 30579 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918. $9 73127 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945. $9 33664 650 0 $a Korean War, 1950-1953. $9 42732 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975. $9 18324 650 0 $a War $x History. $9 227712 650 0 $a Military art and science $x History. $9 41675 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865. $9 15890 700 1 $a Atkinson, Rick, $e author. $9 113204 700 1 $a D'Este, Carlo, $d 1936- $e author. $9 138856 700 1 $a Hastings, Max, $e author. $9 195815 700 1 $a McPherson, James M., $e author. $9 163522 700 1 $a Millet, Allan Reed, $e author. 700 1 $a O'Brien, Tim, $d 1946- $e author. $9 181189 700 1 $a Weinberg, Gerhard L., $e author. $9 138837 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907012050.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909032953.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=916BADCC8B3F11E48EA3C3A4DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
