Conversation and Booksigning With Jeff Shaara Rescheduled at Franklin County 11/30 Visitors Center

Franklin County Historical Society will host a Conversation & Booksigning with Author and Historian Jeff Shaara at the Franklin County 11/30 Visitors Center in downtown Chambersburg, 7 PM to 9 PM. The conversation will center around Shaara’s newest novel, The Shadow of War, which takes a closer look at the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962.  Dr. Steven Burg of Shippensburg University will moderate the conversation with the author.

Shaara activates his readers to join him in another place and time as he energizes historical events and figures in compelling situations of American and world history. He is well-known for Gods and Generals and The Last Full Measure, which join his Pulitzer Prize-winning father Michael Shaara’s The Killer Angels. Together, they are recognized as the Civil War Trilogy.
