SUMMARY:Annual Marc Comras Award + TBS Author Doug Most: Launching Liberty
DESCRIPTION:Join TBS Brotherhood and the Adult Learning Committee for a full bagel-and-lox “Brotherhood Breakfast” honoring Roberta Gerson with the Marc Comras Award for outstanding service to our temple. \nFollowing the presentation\, TBS member Doug Most introduces his latest book\, Launching Liberty: The Epic Race to Build the Ships That Took America to War. Launching Liberty tells the remarkable story of how FDR partnered with private businessmen to produce cargo freighters longer than a football field – ships he affectionately dubbed “ugly ducklings.” As German U-boats maintained their attacks\, Roosevelt initiated a bold nationwide competition among shipyards to see who could construct ships the fastest. Driven by duty and the thrill of innovation\, workers reduced the shipbuilding timeline from months to weeks and then to days. Doug will recount the untold and inspiring stories of those who rose to the challenge during one of America’s most critical and tumultuous times. \nA prolific writer and journalist\, Doug\, in addition to his new World War II book\, Launching Liberty\, is the author of three books\, including the best-selling The Race Underground. A former Boston Globe editor\, he serves as the Executive Editor at Boston University.
