    Philip Padgett presents "Advocating Overlord: The D-Day Strategy and the Atomic Bomb"

    5:00 p.m. Reception | 6:00 p.m. Presentation | 7:00 p.m. Book Signing

    The Institute for the Study of War and Democracy is delighted to host Philip Padgett for a conversation with the Senior Director of Research and History Keith Huxen, PhD, where they will discuss Padgett’s new book Advocating Overlord.

    While many view D-Day as one of the most successful operations of World War II, most aren’t aware of the intensive year of planning and political tension between the Allies that preceded the amphibious military landing on June 6, 1944. This intriguing history reveals how President Franklin D. Roosevelt, while on a fishing trip, altered his attitude toward Winston Churchill and became an advocate for Operation Overlord.

    Philip Padgett spent 40 years working in national security and preparedness analysis in the military, government, and the private sector. As deputy intelligence adviser at the US Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, he supported negotiations for five international treaties and agreements. On contract, he has led integrated analyses for studies of the East-West military balance, nuclear doctrine and deterrence, NATO command and control, and arms control compliance monitoring. In his retirement, Padgett joined the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Reserve Corps and assisted in national emergencies such as Hurricane Sandy.
