SUMMARY:Double Crossed: The American Missionary Spies of World War II
DESCRIPTION:Clark County Historical Museum and Humanities Washington are excited to welcome Matthew Avery Sutton’s remarkable presentation\, “Double Crossed: The American Missionary Spies of World War II.” The event will occur on Thursday\, October 5\, 2023 in person at the Clark County Historical Museum (1511 Main Street\, Vancouver\, WA 98660). Doors open at 6 p.m. and the event begins at 7 p.m.  \nWhat made a good missionary also made a good spy\, or so thought American intelligence agencies in World War II. These religious men and women carried out covert operations\, bombings\, and assassinations—confident that their nefarious deeds would eventually help them achieve their mission by expanding the kingdom of God. \nHistorian Matthew Avery Sutton tells the extraordinary story of these missionaries\, priests\, and rabbis who played an outsized role in leading the United States to victory in World War II. This talk is an untold story of wartime spy craft and a profound account of the compromises and doubts that war forces on those who wage it. \nMatthew Avery Sutton (he/him) is the Berry Family Distinguished Professor in Liberal Arts and the chair of the Department of History at Washington State University. He has authored several books\, the most recent of which is Double Crossed: The Missionaries Who Spied for the United States During the Second World War (2019)\, off which his talk is based. He has written for the New York Times and Washington Post. In 2016\, he was appointed a Guggenheim Foundation Fellow. \nThe CCHM Speaker Series is sponsored by the Humanities Washington and Clark County Historic Preservation Commission. Thanks to support from Humanities Washington this event is free to the public.  \nFor more information\, contact the museum at 360-993-5679 or outreach@cchmuseum.org.  \nAbout Humanities Washington\nHumanities Washington is a nonprofit organization dedicated to opening minds and bridging divides by creating spaces to explore different perspectives.
