This seminar provides an examination of the United States’ policy and strategy during World War II, with a particular focus on the pivotal role played by the D Day invasion. Using primary documents, this seminar will delve into the political, diplomatic, and military dimensions of American involvement in the global conflict, exploring the key decisions, actors, and events that shaped the nation’s approach to the war.

This program will be conducted as discussion, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings, and with the Discussion Leader facilitating the conversation, instead of lecturing or presenting. Registrants, therefore, are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions. Teachers will receive a Letter of Attendance at the conclusion of the seminar.
