His winning book is Embers of War: The Fall of an Empire and the Making of America's Vietnam. The prize committee describes it as: "A balanced, deeply researched history of how, as French colonial rule faltered, a succession of American leaders moved step by step down a road toward full-blown war." A reception will immediately follow the lecture.
