Austin Peay State University Provost Lecture Series to discuss Axis Prisoners of War (POWs)
Clarksville, TN – An Austin Peay State University history faculty member whose research focuses on prisoners of war (POW) will talk about the Axis POWs held in the U.S. during World War II as part of the next Provost Lecture Series at APSU.
Dr. Antonio Thompson, associate professor of history, will present at 3:00pm, Thursday, November 15th in the Morgan University Center, Room 303. All sessions of the Provost Lecture Series are free and open to the public.
Thompson received an APSU Summer Faculty Development Grant to expand his POW research to include Italian and Japanese POWs housed in the U.S. during WWII. He has an article on the Italian POWs housed at Camp Crossville, Tennessee, in preparation and recently was interviewed for a PBS special on Camp Crossville.
Additionally, an article on German, Japanese and Italian POWs will be included in a two-volume collection of essays edited by Thompson and APSU history professor Dr. Christos Frentzos to be published by Routledge Press in 2013.
Thompson is an alumnus of APSU, graduating with his B.S. in history in 1998. He began studying the German POWs housed in Kentucky and Tennessee during WWII for his master’s thesis at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, KY and continued this research on a national scale for his dissertation at the University of Kentucky. He has two books, one about WWII German POWs housed in Kentucky and a second about WWII German POWs housed in the United States.
