Join us for an evening with Molly Guptill Manning, author of "The War of Words: How America's GI Journalists Battled Censorship and Propaganda to Help Win World War II."
Molly is an author, historian, curator, and associate professor of law at New York Law School. She is the author of the New York Times bestseller When Books Went to War, The Myth of Ephraim Tutt, and The War of Words. She has spoken across the country about the power of the written word, and has curated the exhibit, “The Best-Read Army in the World,” which launched in New York City in 2023 and will be traveling to California later this year. The exhibit showcases the essential role that books, magazines, and newspapers played in World War II.
Before she became a professor, Molly worked in the New York federal courts for thirteen years. She earned a B.A. and M.A. in American history, a J.D. at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, and an M.A. in Museum Studies from NYU.
