In recognition of the longstanding intersection of interests between the Society for Military History and the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations, and with the intention of deepening the relationship between the organizations, SMH extends a special invitation to SHAFR members to attend the 2025 George C. Marshall Lecture. Titled “To the Bitter End?: Germany, Japan, and Surrender, 1945,” and scheduled for January 4th at the AHA meeting in NYC, this annual lecture will be delivered by Richard Overy, Honorary Research Professor at the University of Exeter. Comparing the two endgames and assessing the long-term ramifications of each, Professor Overy’s presentation reflects the commonalities of the two organizations, and SMH looks forward to the attendance of many SHAFR members. It will provide further details and a link at a later date.
