SUMMARY:Dole & Dr. K: A Story of Loss and Recovery Turned Advocacy for Armenia
DESCRIPTION:This special exhibit will be closing on February 1\, 2026\, to prepare for a new special exhibit. Make plans to visit the Dole Institute’s Museum & Galleries\, open Tuesday through Sunday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.\, by visiting our website. \n\nCan’t make it to see this exhibit? View the online exhibit on Dole Collections Online → \n\nA young Bob Dole\, searching for a fuller recovery from grave World War II injuries\, connected with Armenian surgeon Dr. Hampar Kelikian. Over the course of seven surgeries in seven years\, “Dr. K” shared his story of loss and renewal around the 1915 Armenian Genocide—inspiring Dole as he worked to reimagine his future and build a new life. \nKelikian’s lessons resonated with Dole in the decades following as he entered public service. Throughout his time in the U.S. Senate\, Dole championed Armenia\, including calling for official recognition of the Armenian Genocide – despite long odds and competing national interests. \nThis exhibit is based on the research of Michael Bobelian\, who served as the Dole Archives Fellow for Armenian Advocacy in 2018. Mr. Bobelian is the author of “Children of Armenia: A Forgotten Genocide and the Century-Long Struggle for Justice.”

SUMMARY:Whiz Kids at War: Data Analysis and America’s War in Vietnam
DESCRIPTION:The Vietnam War was not just America’s first televised war\, it was the nation’s first computerized war. The conflict’s hybrid character created a fragmented battlespace that was defined by a lack of front lines\, the comingling of friendly and enemy forces\, and a patchwork of political and military control. Data collection and analysis thus became a cornerstone of the American war in Southeast Asia\, one that held great promise for assessing and fighting a “war without fronts” but fell far short of expectations. \nMartin G. Clemis is an associate professor in the Department of Military History at the Command and General Staff College. He is the author of The Control War: The Struggle for South Vietnam\, 1968-1975 (University of Oklahoma Press\, 2018)\, and a contributing author in Beyond the Quagmire: New Interpretations of the Vietnam Conflict (University of North Texas Press\, 2019)\, Drawdowns: The American Way of Postwar (New York University Press\, 2017)\, and War and Geography: The Spatiality of Organized Mass Violence (Ferdinand Schoningh\, 2017). Martin has had articles published in Army History and Small Wars and Insurgencies. \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. \n  \n\n  \nThe opinions expressed herein are those of the individual and do not necessarily represent the views of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College or any other governmental agency.
