Author/historian Jay Wertz At Barnes & Noble, Las Vegas
PRLog (Press Release) – May 09, 2011 – Author/historian Jay Wertz will be appearing at Barnes & Noble, Rainbow Promenade, 2191 N Rainbow Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89108, on Saturday, June 11th, from 1pm to 4pm. Mr. Wertz will sign copies of his books, THE CIVIL WAR EXPERIENCE: 1861-1865, and THE NATIVE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE.
The Civil War shaped the development of the United States of America like no other event in the country’s history, resulting in the building of one of the world’s greatest democracies. The Civil War Experience: 1861-1865 provides a unique glimpse into the world of the 1860s—the military, political, and social events of the war are explored, and the heroes, from great leaders and generals to common soldiers and civilians, are identified. The Civil War Experience offers the reader the chance to relive this defining moment in history through some two hundred illustrations, including specially commissioned maps and thirty facsimile items, many removable, of rare memorabilia.
Native Americans have fascinated the world ever since European explorers discovered the Western Hemisphere. The Native American Experience tells their story from migration during the Ice Age to the influence of Native American culture today, examining early Native American tribal history and the turbulent relationship between Native Americans and Western settlers. The Native American Experience is based in part on interviews with notable Native Americans-including Adam Fortunate Eagle, Johnny Bear Contreas, and Waneek Horn-Miller-
The latest book from Mr. Wertz is THE PACIFIC---Volume One-- Pearl Harbor to Guadalcanal. This first volume premieres a ten part book series: War Stories: World War II Firsthand, which offers a unique approach to World War II by weaving stories of combat veterans of all forces into an event by event history of the war. The series includes hundreds of first person interviews and oral histories of the soldiers on the ground, the sailors on the high seas, and airmen in the sky.
THE PACIFIC---Volume One-- Pearl Harbor to Guadalcanal features heart-wrenching testimony from the survivors of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Bataan Death March and much, much more. Extensive research has resulted in finding those who are willing to share their personal, often unusual, and always fascinating wartime recollections. The book is fully illustrated with dynamic images, including color photos; and specially designed 3-D maps.
Tom Brokaw of NBC News commented, "(War Stories:) The Pacific is a stunning and evocative reminder of the personal heroism and epic battles over and on seas, island, and mainland, as told by those who were there. Magnificent."
Jay Wertz is the co-author of Smithsonian's Great Battles and Battlefields of the Civil War. His television credits include the award-winning 13-part documentary series Smithsonian's Great Battles of the Civil War.
