On Thursday, February 16, just before the opening night of this year’s festival, Bob Drury visited Hunter Army Airfield to speak to the Ranger Battalion as part of our community initiative, SBF@Schools.

Since its inception in 2010, SBF@Schools has brought best-selling authors into local public and private middle/high school and university classrooms to give Savannah’s students a chance to interact with nationally recognized and award-winning authors.

The SBF@Schools program brings both fiction and non-fiction authors to schools to discuss creative writing, history, science, and current events. Authors share their early educational experiences, influences, and successes in their writing lives.
 
This year, for the first time, one of our visiting authors spoke at Hunter Army Airfield. Robert “Bob” Drury discussed “The Last Hill: The Epic Story of a Ranger Battalion and the Battle That Defined WWII”, which  he co-authored with Tom Clavin.
 
Robert “Bob” Drury is the recipient of several national journalism awards and is a three-time National Magazine Award finalist, as well as a Pulitzer Prize nominee. His journalism career has arced from sports, to crime, to foreign correspondence.

Thank you to Kalona Barker at Hunter AAF for the photos!
