I edited this Veterans Day special that aired nationally on PBS stations starting in November 2024. This production featured music from the Boston Pops as historian John Monsky walks you through the final year of World War II through the lens of journalists who covered the war.

Join host Katie Couric, historian John Monsky, Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops for a Veterans Day tribute with The Eyes of the World: From D-Day to VE Day, a visual and symphonic journey through the final months of World War II in Europe. Experience history like never before through the eyes of iconic figures such as Ernest Hemingway, Robert Capa, Lee Miller, J.D. Salinger and the 761st Tank Battalion who risked everything in their search for the truth to write the first draft of history.

The production is set to a stirring mix of music performed by top Broadway stars, with compositions from Glenn Miller, Richard Rodgers, Edith Piaf, and more.
