Scott Stephenson presented the "German
Homefront" and Dr.'s Sean Kalic and
Gates Brown presented "The Russian
Revolutions" on Nov. 15.
Since May, there have been two
Vietnam lectures conducted. On May 4,

Dr. Rich Kiper, a former CGSC instructor,
presented "Army Special Forces in
Vietnam" and on Oct. 19, Dr. John T.

Vietnam."
These two lecture series, conducted in
partnership with the CGSC Department
of Military History, are designed to allow
the world-class CGSC Faculty to share
their expertise with not only the Fort
Leavenworth community, but also with
the greater Kansas City area. Attendance
at these lectures is free and open to the
public.
Another Vietnam lecture is scheduled
for Dec. 7 and will be presented by Dr.
Jim Willbanks, CGSC's General of the

Army George C. Marshall Chair of
Military History, on "Civil Operations
and Revolutionary Development
Support (CORDS)." See "Upcoming
Events" on page 2 for a complete list of
upcoming lectures.
Special thanks go to the lecture series
sponsors - First Command Financial
Services and the Veterans of Foreign
Wars for their support of both series
and the Vietnam Veterans of America
for their support of the Vietnam War
series. Also, these lecture series would
not be possible without the support of
the director of CGSC's Department of
Military History, Dr. Tom Hanson, and
his entire faculty.
