Everyone,

On Wednesday, 12 December, at 3 p.m., my History Department colleague and President Emeritus Eugene P. Trani will lecture on his new book, The Reporter Who Knew Too Much: Harrison Salisbury and the New York Times. Co-authored with Donald E. Davis, the biography recounts the career of the influential, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, from his stint as head of the Times’ bureau in Moscow after World War II to his controversial reporting from Hanoi at the height of the Vietnam War. The book is based on Salisbury’s own reporting and also his archive of correspondence and other materials at Columbia University.

The talk is at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, 12 December, at the VCU Welcome Center, 1111 West Broad Street. 

A reception and book signing will follow. The Welcome Center is under the Broad Street Parking Deck and adjacent to the VCU Barnes and Noble Bookstore. 

Park, shop, and learn about Harrison Salisbury’s remarkable career. Free and open to the public.
