Accolades
Numerous students and alumni have served
in our country’s armed forces since MU was founded in
1839. Marine mine disposal expert and Tiger fan Lt. Col. Chris
Lozano took a reminder of his alma mater to the Persian
Gulf when he shipped out with the First Marine Expeditionary
Force. The “Tiger Paw” flag has been with him throughout
his deployment.
William
Manchester, BJ ’47, is a noted historian and
biographer and professor emeritus at Wesleyan University in
Connecticut. He turned to academic life after a distinguished
career as a foreign correspondent in the Middle East, India
and Southeast Asia. He is the author of 18 books that have been
translated into 20 languages and Braille.
Manchester served in the U.S. Marine Corps
from 1942 to 1945 and was twice wounded in action, earning him
two Purple Heart medals. His book Goodbye Darkness: A Memoir
of the Pacific War was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.
American Caesar, his biography
of Douglas MacArthur, also received high critical acclaim and
was nominated for a National Book Award.
The first two books of his three-volume
biography of Sir Winston Churchill, Visions of Glory: 1874-1931
and Alone: 1932-1940, appeared in 1983 and 1988, respectively.
His world fame, however, dates from 1967, when, in the spring
of that year, he published The Death of a President: November
1963, which he had written at the request of Jacqueline
Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy. Afterward he contributed royalties
from the book — nearly $2 million — to the John
F. Kennedy Library in Boston.
