Book Talk with Marc Leepson
Ballad of the Green Beret: The Life and Wars of Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler
Place: Conference Rooms
Cost: Free

Journalist and historian Marc Leepson will discuss his new book, Ballad of the Green Beret: The Life and Wars of Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler from the Vietnam War and Pop Stardom to Murder and an Unsolved, Violent Death. A top hit of 1966, "The Ballad of the Green Berets" was a patriotic tribute to the Special Forces by Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler. This life-and-times biography vividly recounts the sensational details of Sadler's life, setting his meteoric rise and tragic fall against the big picture of American society and culture during and after the Vietnam War. A book signing follows the program.
