Program Description

Event Details

"This Business of Fighting" is based on the letters home of Anton Pritchard, Arnie Pritchard's father, from the front lines of World War II in Europe.  It is street-level history, portraying a young man struggling with his fear, his role as a leader, and his encounter with a world both wider and more brutal than he had ever known. 

Arnie Pritchard was trained as a historian, and got into storytelling as an avocation.  He has told stories at venues across Connecticut and elsewhere in New England.
