Historian John McManus With Video Game Designer Luke Hughes

How do historical video games mesh with real history? Join us for a fascinating conversation between Luke Hughes, Ph.D., designer of the new World War II video game “Burden of Command,” and acclaimed military historian John C. McManus, author of “American Courage, American Carnage: The 7th Infantry Regiment's Combat Experience, 1812 to World War II.” McManus's book served as the inspiration for “Burden of Command,” a game in which players assume the role of a company commander in the U.S. Army's highly distinguished 7th Infantry Regiment during World War II. Don't miss the chance to be part of this sit-down between a video game designer and an author, and maybe even get a sneak peak at the game.
