SUMMARY:The Six Secret Teachings of Jiang Ziya
DESCRIPTION:The Six Secret Teachings of Jiang Ziya (Ta’i Kung) is the oldest of China’s Seven Military Classics. This foundational work from the Shang Dynasty (1600-1046 BCE) period purports to have originated more than five centuries before Sun Tzu (544-496 BCE). The six teachings are a record of conversations between Jiang and the future Zhou Kings Wen and Wu on defeating the Shang Dynasty. This book on civil-military relations\, organizing\, manning\, and fighting forces\, is attributed to Jiang Ziya\, who is purported to be China’s first general officer and strategist. This presentation explores the key themes and military advice offered in the six books\, with comparisons to Sun Tzu and suggestions on how this work might influence a modern Chinese Way of War. \nDr. Geoff Babb was commissioned from Bowdoin College in Brunswick\, Maine in 1973 as a US Army Military Intelligence Officer. After serving in the Defense Intelligence Agency as a ground forces analyst\, he was assigned to Monterey\, California\, Hong Kong\, and Beijing for language and area studies. He was then assigned to Joint and Army Headquarters in Hawaii. In 1991\, he joined the Command and General Staff College faculty at Fort Leavenworth. After retiring from the military\, he earned a Masters in East Asian Languages and Cultures\, and a Doctorate in History from the University of Kansas. He has published numerous book chapters and articles on China and Asia. He currently serves as a professor in the Department of Military History as its China hand. \nSubmit your questions for Dr. Babb to dolequestions@ku.edu for the question-and-answer portion of the program. \nThis special program will be live-streamed to the institute’s YouTube channel and to its website\, www.doleinstitute.org. Due to continuing concerns regarding the novel coronavirus pandemic\, the program will only be available online. Follow the Dole Institute on Facebook\, Instagram\, or Twitter for updates regarding this and future programming.

SUMMARY:President Juan Manuel Santos
DESCRIPTION:The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics at the University of Kansas will live-stream a special event featuring former Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos on Thursday\, June 10 at 7 p.m. CDT on the institute’s YouTube channel.\n“We are excited to welcome President Santos back to the institute\,” said Director Bill Lacy. “He will be discussing his new book about his work on ending the Colombian Civil War. His efforts to end the 50-year-long conflict led to him winning the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize.” \nIn his book The Battle for Peace\, Santos shares the lessons he learned about war and peace and how to build a successful negotiation process in the midst of a conflict where a resolution seemed impossible. While Santos is clear that there is no handbook for making peace\, he offers conflict-tested guidance on the critical parameters\, conditions\, and principles as well as rich detail on the innovations that made it possible for his nation to find common ground and a just solution. \nCopies of Santos’ book are available for purchase through the University Press of Kansas: https://kansaspress.ku.edu/978-0-7006-3066-0.html \nJuan Manuel Santos was president of Colombia from 2010 to 2018 and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2016. Prior to becoming president\, Santos had a long career of public service in Colombia\, including as minister of foreign trade\, minister of finance and public credit\, and minister of national defense. Santos prepared for these roles by attending the University of Kansas\, through postgraduate studies at the London School of Economics and Harvard University\, as a Fulbright Fellow at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy\, and in the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University. He is founder and chairman of the board of Compaz Center of Resources for Peace\, which works for the empowerment of victims\, the consolidation of peace\, the reduction of poverty and inequality\, and the defense of the environment in Colombia and the planet. \nThis special program will only be live-streamed to the institute’s YouTube channel and its website\, www.doleinstitute.org. Follow the Dole Institute on Facebook\, Instagram\, or Twitter for updates regarding this and future programming. \nThe KU Alumni Association features Santos on its current cover of Kansas Alumni\, its quarterly magazine\, and highlights an excerpt from his book. The magazine is available at kansasalumnimagazine.org. \nThis program is co-sponsored by the University Press of Kansas and the KU Alumni Association.

SUMMARY:Mikhail Tukhachevsky\, Soviet Theory\, and Operational Warfare
DESCRIPTION:After WWII\, many historians\, as well as military theorists and leaders\, focused on the German ability to restore mobility to warfare\, especially at the operational level\, in the early years of the war. Popularized as “Blitzkrieg\,” the Germans were often portrayed as the pioneers of this new form of warfare—far ahead of all other nations in 1939-40. However\, this view overlooks the tremendously far-sighted Operational doctrine of the Soviet Union that had reached a high degree of development. Building on some earlier Tsarist era examples (Suvorov\, Brusilov)\, a crop of Soviet military leaders emerged from their own Civil with fresh ideas for the future of warfare. Along with other prescient theorists (for example\, Frunze\, Svechin\, Triandifillov\, and Isserson)\, Mikhail Nikolayevich Tukhachevsky developed a doctrine of the operational art that reached a high-point with the publication of the Red Army’s Provisional Field Regulations of 1936. The regulations posited a doctrine of deep battle far ahead of German doctrine at the time. Sadly for the Soviets\, most of the great wave of new thinkers\, to include Tukahchevsky\, were executed in Stalin’s purges before WWII\, and the doctrine was watered down. \nDr. Curtis S. King is an associate professor for the Staff Ride Team\, Combat Studies Institute\, Fort Leavenworth\, Kansas. He graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1982 with a B.S. in History and English Literature. After various assignments\, Dr. King returned to the Military Academy as an instructor in 1992. In 1998\, he became a professor at the Combat Studies Institute (CSI). While at CSI\, Dr. King received his Ph.D in Russian and Soviet history (1998) from the University of Pennsylvania and spent a 6-month tour in Sarajevo\, Bosnia (1999-2000) as a NATO historian. Dr. King retired from the Army in May 2002. In October 2002\, he was hired to the staff ride team of CSI as a civilian associate professor and is an adjunct professor at Kansas State University. He has published numerous articles and entries to edited works on a wide variety of military history topics. \nSubmit your questions for Dr. King to dolequestions@ku.edu for the question-and-answer portion of the program. \nThis special program will be live-streamed to the institute’s YouTube channel and to its website\, www.doleinstitute.org. Due to continuing concerns regarding the novel coronavirus pandemic\, the program will only be available online. Follow the Dole Institute on Facebook\, Instagram\, or Twitter for updates regarding this and future programming.

SUMMARY:Aerospace Theory
DESCRIPTION:In the late 1940s the U.S. Air Force embraced the use of space as a natural extension of its traditional air power mission. As such\, they envisioned air and space mediums converging into a single operational domain.

SUMMARY:Pre-World War I French Military Doctrine and its Consequences
DESCRIPTION:Ft. Leavenworth: Pre-World War I French Military Doctrine and its Consequences\nRichard Faulkner\nOctober 7\, 2021 | 3 p.m. \nIn the years prior to World War I\, the French military wrestled with how to defend itself against a larger\, more industrialized foe. Like the Great War’s other major combatants\, the French pre-war doctrine proved to be ill-suited to meet the realities of the 1914 battlefield. This lecture will examine the factors that influenced the French Army’s pre-war doctrine\, how the army envisioned fighting “the next great war\,” and how it adapted its tactical strategy from 1915 to 1918\, after its peacetime doctrine failed to secure France’s hope for victory in 1914. \nThe Ft. Leavenworth Series \nThe Ft. Leavenworth Series is an annual roster of lectures focusing on significant historical events\, usually with an emphasis on military history. Each lecture is presented by faculty from the United States Army Command and General Staff College in Ft. Leavenworth\, Kansas. Established by General William Tecumseh Sherman in 1881\, the CGSC is the graduate college for U.S. Army and sister service officers. The esteemed faculty and guests of the CGSC provide unique and captivating insights into the history of military conflict from the ancient to the modern ages at the Dole Institute of Politics. \nThe Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics is dedicated to promoting political and civic participation as well as civil discourse in a bipartisan\, philosophically balanced manner. It is located on KU’s West Campus and houses the Dole Archive and Special Collections. Through its robust public programming\, congressional archive and museum\, the Dole Institute strives to celebrate public service and the legacies of U.S. Senators Bob Dole and Elizabeth Dole.

SUMMARY:Vo Nguyen Giap and Le Duan: Vietnam’s Victors
DESCRIPTION:Ft. Leavenworth: Vo Nguyen Giap and Le Duan: Vietnam’s Victors\nMartin Clemis\nNovember 4\, 2021 | 3 p.m. \nBetween 1945 and 1975\, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam fought and won two major conflicts against tremendous odds: one against France and the other against the U.S. and its South Vietnamese ally. The architects of these incredible victories were General Vo Nguyen Giap\, the commander of the North Vietnamese Army\, and Le Duan\, the General Secretary of the Vietnam Worker’s Party. Although they both utilized a hybrid politico-military approach that synthesized conventional war\, guerrilla warfare\, and mass politics\, they each pursued a unique variation of communist revolutionary warfare. In this lecture\, Clemis will discuss how these men and their theories of war carried the communists to victory in Vietnam\, and in doing so\, brought the most far reaching and consequential conflict of the Cold War to a conclusion. \nThe Ft.

SUMMARY:THE COUNSELORS | Resolved: Cash bail will not be required for individuals who are not a flight risk or dangerous
DESCRIPTION:On Nov. 17\, the Dole Institute of Politics will debut The Counselors\, an engaging series featuring two advocates arguing either side of an important national issue. In a cross between a courtroom trial and a debate\, the two counselors will present their opposing arguments and call two expert witnesses each to help build their case. \nFocusing on criminal justice reform\, the theme for our November program is “Resolved: Cash bail will not be required for individuals who are not a flight risk or dangerous.” \nThe counselors for “Resolved” will be Edward C. Duckers\, partner at Stoel Rives LLP and head of the firm’s Litigation Practice\, and Pedro L. Irigonegaray\, attorney and partner at Irigonegaray\, Turney\, & Revenaugh. \nToday in the United States\, six out of every 10 people in jail are currently awaiting trial without having actually been convicted of a crime. In 2018\, the bipartisan FIRST STEP Act was signed into law\, creating legislation that would improve fairness in sentencing of federal crimes\, reduce recidivism and promote public safety. \nAt a time when a range of experts are calling for additional criminal justice reform\, The Counselors fall program aims to educate on both sides of the argument. \nJoin us 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday\, Nov. 17\, for the inaugural event followed by an open house reception. \nThe Counselors series is consistent with the mission of the Dole Institute of Politics – to promote political and civic participation as well as civil discourse in a bi-partisan\, balanced manner – and is made possible through a grant from the Koch Family Foundation. \nThis program is cosponsored by KU Debate and the University of Kansas School of Law.

SUMMARY:Kennan and Nitze: Early Cold War Theorists
DESCRIPTION:Ft. Leavenworth: Kennan and Nitze: Early Cold War Theorists\nGates Brown and Dave Mills\nDecember 2\, 2021 | 3 p.m. \nBrown and Mills will discuss two of the most influential Cold War theoriest: George Kennan and Paul Nitze\, who were exact opposites in strategy and outlook. Kennan was a realist who believed the U.S. should eliminate its arsenal of nuclear weapons. His guiding philosophy was that an individual or a nation that desired peace should act peacefully\, although his opinions on dealing with the U.S.S.R. ironically led to the most aggressive foreign policy in American history. Nitze was a hawk who advocated a more assertive role in foreign affairs\, believing that if a nation desired peace\, it should prepare for war. More than any other American\, Nitze was responsible for the arms race between the two superpowers throughout the Cold War. \nThe Ft. Leavenworth Series \nThe Ft. Leavenworth Series is an annual roster of lectures focusing on significant historical events\, usually with an emphasis on military history.
