Jeff Shaara with Karen Hendricks: The Shadow of War

The Midtown Scholar Bookstore is honored to welcome New York Times bestselling author Jeff Shaara to Harrisburg for a conversation and signing on his new novel of historical fiction, The Shadow of War: A Novel of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Shaara will be in conversation with local journalist Karen Hendricks.

From the bestselling author comes the story of rising conflict between the super-powers that gripped the world, a global war that almost happened: The Cuban Missile Crisis. Extensively researched and vividly imagined, The Shadow of War brings to life the many threads that lead to the building crisis between the Soviet Union and the United States in 1962.

This event is free and open to the public. To enter the signing line, books must be purchased from the Midtown Scholar Bookstore. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event, or you may pre-order a copy of the book for pickup/shipment. Pre-ordered books may not be signed until after the event.
