The Greatest Generation Day Committee was excited to host veteran journalist and Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace as keynote of the Greatest Generation Day Celebration.
Chris Wallace joined Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum Deputy Director Joel Westphal for this virtual program as Wallace discussed his recently published book, Countdown 1945: The Extraordinary Story of the Atomic Bomb and the 116 Days That Changed the World. Countdown 1945 delivers a behind-the-scenes account of the 116 days leading to the bombing on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. This book goes beyond just the atomic bomb and shares accounts of ordinary American and Japanese civilians in wartime.
During his journalism career, Chris Wallace has covered almost every major political event, and interviewed U.S. and world leaders, including seven American presidents. Throughout his 50+ years in broadcasting, Wallace has won every major broadcast news award for his reporting, including three Emmy Awards, the Dupont-Columbia Silver Baton, and the Peabody Award.
