Donald Goldstein, Pitt Professor and Renowned Military Scholar, Available to Comment on 65th Anniversary of the D-Day Invasion
PITTSBURGH-Reporters preparing articles about the 65th anniversary of D-Day can arrange interviews with military scholar Donald Goldstein, a professor in Pitt's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, interim director of the Matthew B. Ridgway Center for International Security Studies, and a leading expert on Pearl Harbor. He is the author or coauthor of 25 books, including two best-sellers, "At Dawn We Slept: The Untold Story of Pearl Harbor" (McGraw-Hill, 1981) and "Miracle at Midway" (McGraw-Hill, 1983), as well as "D-Day Normandy: The Story and the Photographs" (Potomac Books, 1999).
In 2006, Goldstein donated his private collection of historical World War II materials to Pitt, including about 4,400 books, 13,000 photographs, 300 films and videotapes, and transcripts of 200 interviews with Japanese and American participants in the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Goldstein Collection, independently appraised at $890,000, pushed Pitt's Discover a World of Possibilities capital campaign past the $1 billion mark in gifts and pledges.
