Join us as the World War II Foundation hosts author Katie S. Sanders to discuss her and her co-author Nicholas Reynolds’ new book, Ortiz’s War at the International World War II Museum in South Kingstown, RI, on Wednesday, October 7th, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event.

Peter J. Ortiz’s story is extraordinary. He served in the French Foreign Legion, the United States Marines, and the O.S.S. Ortiz could speak a number of languages and even had a career in Hollywood after the war. Sanders and Reynolds explore the story of this amazing individual in Ortiz’s War with an exhilarating style that keeps readers in suspense with each turn of the page.

Katie S. Sanders is an award-winning journalist who has published pieces in TIME, National Geographic, and the New York Times. She learned that her grandfather was rescued by Peter J. Ortiz during WWII, which inspired this project.

Nicholas Reynolds earned a PhD from Oxford University and has served in the U.S. Marine Corps and as a CIA officer, as well as a historian at the CIA Museum. He has written several books, the most recent titled “Need to Know: World War II and the Rise of American Intelligence”.
