Lecture by Robert Tomes, Local Tottenville Author

Robert Tomes, a professor at St. John's University and a Tottenville resident, will be speaking about his book, Apocalypse Then: American Intellectuals and the Vietnam War, 1954-1975, a perceptive, well-balanced, and well-written look at a very difficult time in the life of the United States, which, among other things, gives insight to how we got to today's, by most accounts, somewhat contentious public discourse.
