In the 248 years since 1776, the US has been at peace for only 17 years. War is the norm, not the exception.
Join Crafton Public Library as we welcome back Jeff Benton for his third lecture series, United States Wars in the Twentieth Century+. The course will focus on causes, results, and some strategy, but no tactics (who shot who and with what caliber).
Weekly on Thursdays, September 5th through October 31st, 10:45 AM - 12:15 PM
