Discover the Iife and Iegacy of one of America's greatest historians in RefIections: Samuel EIiot Morison. A two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, Rear AdmiraI Morison (1887-1976) wrote works that ranged from the officiaI history of U.S. naval operations in World War Il to comprehensive volumes that retraced the voyages of CoIumbus and Magellan. Filmed during the last year of his life, this candid documentary portrait is Morison's story in his own words, as he traces his journey from a young Harvard faculty member to his rise as America's pre-eminent schoIar of maritime affairs. Weaving together the tapestry of Morison's life and career, this is an illuminating exploration of a visionary historian whose work continues to shape our understanding of the past. |
