SUMMARY:Special Dinner Lecture – Feb. 2
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to a Special Dinner Lecture with the CGSC Foundation Feb. 2\, from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.\nin the atrium of the Lewis and Clark Center on Fort Leavenworth. \nReception at 5:30 p.m. • Buffet Dinner at 6 p.m. • Presentation at 7 p.m. \nPlease register below\nThe CGSC Foundation’s special guest dinner on Feb. 2 features guest speaker Peter Mansoor\, Ph.D. Mansoor has served as the General Raymond E. Mason Jr. Chair of Military History at Ohio State University since September 2008\, following a 26-year career in the U.S. Army. He is a retired colonel and frequent media commentator on national security affairs. \nA 1982 distinguished graduate of the United States Military Academy\, Mansoor served in a variety of command and staff positions in the United States\, Europe\, and the Middle East during his military career. Among his many assignments\, Mansoor served as the founding director of the U.S. Army/Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Center at Fort Leavenworth\, Kansas\, where he helped to edit the counterinsurgency field manual\, which was used to reshape the conduct of the Iraq War. In the fall of 2006 he also served on the Joint Chiefs of Staff Council of Colonels that reexamined the strategy for the war in Iraq. He ended his Army career as executive officer to Gen. David Petraeus\, then commanding general of Multi-National Force–Iraq\, during the 2007–08 surge. \nMansoor is the author of several books including The GI Offensive in Europe: The Triumph of American Infantry Divisions\, 1941–45 (winner of the Society for Military History and Army Historical Society distinguished book awards in 2000); Baghdad at Sunrise: A Brigade Commander’s War in Iraq; and Surge: My Journey with Gen. David Petraeus and the Remaking of the Iraq War. \nDuring this special dinner event\, Mansoor will talk about his most recent book\, Redemption: MacArthur and the Campaign for the Philippines\, which is a comprehensive military history of the Philippines campaign in WWII\, focusing on MacArthur’s return to liberate the islands following his defeat in 1942. The book re-evaluates MacArthur’s controversial leadership\, balancing his brilliance and strategic success with his egotism. \nMansoor is a lifetime member of the Council on Foreign Relations\, the Veterans of Foreign Wars\, and the American Legion. His research interests include modern U.S. military history\, World War II\, the Iraq War\, and counterinsurgency warfare. \n  \nREGISTRATION IS CLOSED.
