Wellesley Historical Society Speaker Series: Swift Boat Skipper with Robert H. Bradley
EVENT: Author visit
DATE: Sunday, January 18, 2026
- TIME: 2:00pm – 4:00pm
LOCATION: Wellesley Free Library, Wakelin Room, 530 Washington St.
DESCRIPTION: The Wellesley Historical Society, in partnership with the Wellesley Free Library, presents a free Speaker Series exploring topics in Wellesley, New England, national, and world history. Join us to hear a firsthand account of courage, combat, and coming of age aboard Swift Boats in Vietnam.
In Swift Boat Skipper – Stories from the Vietnam War, Robert H. Bradley draws from hundreds of letters written to his parents and the diary he kept in-country to tell the Vietnam War story he lived—not the one portrayed in Apocalypse Now.
