Part of the virtual "Journalism and History When History Is News" series. 

Starting in March 2026, more than a dozen scholars will offer short online introductions to key topics in the broad period of the American Revolution as part of the JCB's 2026 and Beyond initiative.

Join us on Tuesday, April 7 at 4 p.m. for a virtual conversation about War with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Rick Atkinson.

Rick Atkinson is the author of eight narrative histories about five American wars. His most recent book, The Fate of the Day: The War for America, Fort Ticonderoga to Charleston, 1777-1780, debuted as the #1 New York Times nonfiction bestseller. The New York Times Book Review declared, "This is great history...There is no better writer of narrative history than the Pulitzer Prize-winning Atkinson." Ken Burns wrote, "Rick Atkinson takes his place among the greatest of all historians. This superb second volume in his Revolution Trilogy is that rare narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat."
