Dear Mr. Casey:
I want to report that the first session of "Great American
Battles of World War II" went well. Our discussion of Pearl
Harbor attracted 43 students divided into retiree? and active
duty military officers, young people who want to learn more
about the War, and amateur military historians. I have no
feel for how many walk-ins your lecture will attract.
Unless you object, I will take my introductory material
largely from what. Joseph Persico says about you on pages 22-23
of Piercing~.tYie Reich. Also, unless you object, I will have the
Smithsonian Associates tape record your lecture. I will have a
copy of the tape and the Associates will hold a copy. We do not
permit members of the audience to tape our presentations without
both my permission and the permission of the speaker.
I thought you might enjoy the enclosed article about
high-level thinking for the French Resistance going on at the
same time as you were worrying about German operations.
Please feel free to distribute any bibliographies, fact sheets,
or other hand-outs you think should accompany your presentatio:.
I look forward to meeting you Thursday evening.
Martin K. Gordon
