PMML is excited to host Nicholas Reynolds, former CIA officer and co-author of Ortiz’s War, for a moderated discussion and book signing. Nicholas has held a lot of interesting positions, including serving as the historian for the CIA museum. His newest book, Ortiz’s War, centers on the World War II adventures of Maj. Peter J. Ortiz, USMCR and his path to becoming the most battle-decorated member of America’s first spy agency.
The PMML invites you into the heart of our iconic building with monthly behind-the-scenes tours of collections and archival workspaces. First Fridays offer access to the state-of-the-art underground storage and archival workspaces dedicated to the preservation of the Citizen Soldier stories.
The 23rd Annual Pritzker Military Museum & Library Liberty Gala was held on Saturday, September 19, 2026 at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place Chicago.
Journey with us as we read the pages of literary wonders that touch the heart. Join us virtually for a book discussion that encourages us to examine military history and how it relates not just to those who have served but to everyone. Our titles will change monthly and will feature fiction and non-fiction titles. The PMML Book Club is a virtual social gathering with special in-person surprise events along the way.
