Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the Center for Genocide and Human Rights Host Michael Norman and Elizabeth Norman
Tears in the Darkness: The Story of the Bataan Death March and its Aftermath is an historical recollection taken from thousands of sources and hundreds of interviews and created into a narrative by award-winning authors and distinguished Rutgers alumni couple Michael Norman and Elizabeth Norman.
Rutgers Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the Center for Genocide and Human Rights are pleased to present Michael Norman and Elizabeth Norman who will read excerpts from their top-seller Tears in the Darkness on Thursday, October 8 at Englehard Hall in Newark.
The authors will engage students in a dialogue following the presentation of this non-fiction narrative of the worst military defeat in U.S. history. The program, which runs from 2:30 to 4 p.m., is free and open to the public.
Both Michael and Elizabeth, residents of Montclair, New Jersey, have published many books independently. Tears in the Darkness is their first collaborative work and reached ninth on The New York Times' bestseller list. The authors met on the Newark Campus of Rutgers University as undergraduates and were married by the campus chaplain in 1972 prior to graduation.
