The winner of the 2008 Norman B. Tomlinson Jr. Prize for the best work of history in English on World War One is Michael S. Neiberg of the University of Southern Mississippi. Dr. Neiberg's winning monograph entitled The Second Battle of the Marne was published by the University of Indiana. It examines the summer 1918 turning point of WWI on the Western Front when the German advance toward Paris was stopped and thrown decisively into reverse in the first major battle fought by the newly-arrived American Expeditionary Forces in conjunction with their British, French and Italian allies.
Dr. Neiberg receives a check for $3,000.
The Tomlinson Prize is awarded annually by a panel chaired by Dennis Showalter of Colorado College, a former President of the Society for Military History. Other panelists include Brigadier General (retired) Robert A. Doughty, former chairman of the History Department at West Point, the United States Military Academy and Ambassador (retired) Leonard G. Shurtleff, past President of The Western Front Association's United States Branch.
