SUMMARY:World Leaders in Wartime: Winfield Scott and Joint Warfare in 1847-1848
DESCRIPTION:In March of 1847 General Winfield Scott led the first large-scale joint operation in U.S. history. Seeking to compel a favorable conclusion to the ongoing war with Mexico\, the veteran U.S. Army commander developed an ad hoc partnership with the U.S. Navy to conduct an amphibious landing and assault on the fortress city of Veracruz along the Gulf of Mexico. This cooperation between the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy\, which occurred in the absence of joint doctrine or American precedent\, set conditions for a successful march on Mexico City and would establish an enduring cornerstone for the American Way of War. \nLieutenant Colonel Nathan Jennings is an Army Strategist and Associate Professor in the Department of Joint\, Interagency\, and Multinational Operations at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth\, Kansas. With a background in armored warfare and counterinsurgency\, he served combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and previously taught history at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point\, New York. Jennings is a graduate of the U.S. Army School of Advanced Military Studies\, holds a Master of Arts in History from the University of Texas at Austin\, and earned a PhD in History from the University of Kent. \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. \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.

SUMMARY:A Question of Respect: Bringing Us Together in a Deeply Divided Nation
DESCRIPTION:Celinda Lake\, a Democrat\, and Ed Goeas\, a Republican\, have been crossing party lines for more than three decades to produce the Battleground Poll that takes a bipartisan look at America and its politics. Now they have co-authored a book that draws on what they have learned to describe how America has reached its current\, deeply fractured political condition and\, more importantly\, how the country might move beyond it. These two leading political practitioners will be at the Dole Institute to discuss their work\, including their central argument that the only way to escape the current polarization is through mutual respect. \nJerry Seib has been a journalist with The Wall Street Journal for almost 45 years. He served as the Journal’s Executive Washington Editor and wrote the weekly “Capital Journal” column for 29 years. He also reported from the Middle East for the Journal in the mid-1980s\, covered the White House\, has moderated three presidential debates\, and interviewed every president since Ronald Reagan. \nCelinda Lake was one of two main pollsters for the Biden campaign\, is the only Democratic pollster to play a major role in defeating two incumbent presidents\, and is a prominent pollster and political strategist for progressives. Celinda currently serves as President of Lake Research Partners. Lake’s polling and strategic advice has helped candidates such as Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to groundbreaking wins. Lake co-authored the book What Women Really Want with Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway. \nEd Goeas was President and C.E.O. of The Tarrance Group for thirty-five years\, one of the most respected and successful Republican survey research and strategy teams in American politics today. Widely recognized as one of the country’s leading political strategists\, Goeas is an often-sought-after consultant and strategist. In Fall 2018\, Ed served as a Fellow at Georgetown University’s Institute of Politics and Public Service focusing on “Civility in Politics.” In April Goeas was inducted into the American Association of Political Consultants “Hall of Fame.” \n  \nTo purchase a copy of “A Question of Respect: Bringing Us Together in a Deeply Divided Nation\,” please click this link. \nFor those who purchase the book in advance\, there will be an opportunity for Ed Goeas and Celinda Lake to sign the book after the program.

SUMMARY:Fort Leavenworth: Nate Jennings: “Countering Diverse Threats in the Republic of Texas”
DESCRIPTION:From 1836 to 1845\, after gaining independence at the Battle of San Jacinto\, the Republic of Texas faced nearly insurmountable security dilemmas as it struggled to both protect and aggrandize territory across the lower Great Plains. While this included constant warfare against a variety of American Indian tribes that excelled in mobile raiding along expansive frontiers\, it also featured conventional military threats from a much more powerful and vengeful Mexico to the south. \nLTC Nathan Jennings is a US Army officer and Assistant Professor at the US Army Command and General Staff College. He is a graduate of the School of Advanced Military Studies and holds a PhD in History from the University of Kent.

SUMMARY:Fort Leavenworth: Sean Kalic: “Espionage during the Cold War”
DESCRIPTION:For the duration of the Cold War and even in the aftermath\, spies and tales of espionage have captivated the imagination. The fact that the western press occasionally found a “true” story and published its exploits only further fueled the fasciation of the clandestine exploits of the spies on both sides of the Cold War. This public fascination with the “war in the shadows” did not wither as did the Cold War itself. In fact\, as the archives of the former Soviet Union opened and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) declassified volumes of documents from their Cold War operations\, the public finally got a look behind the people\, operations\, and structure of some of the intelligence operations associated with the Cold War. \nDr. Sean N. Kalic is a Professor in the Department of Military at the US Army Command and General Staff College\, where he has taught since 2004.  He had published widely and written books on Al Qaeda\, the militarization of space\, The Russian Revolution\, and Cold War espionage.

SUMMARY:Fort Leavenworth: Gates Brown: “Implications of the Korean War on US Policy”
DESCRIPTION:The Korean War\, often described as the Forgotten War\, was foundational to the creation of the national defense posture that the United States maintained throughout the Cold War. After World War II\, the Truman administration quickly demobilized much of the U.S. military in an effort to return to normalcy and get the United States economy on a peacetime footing. This was similar to previous post-war periods in the United States\, where the large military force quickly returned to its peacetime form\, which was a fraction of the wartime size. This talk will discuss the implications of the Korean War both domestically and internationally. To meet this conflict\, the Truman administration restarted conscription to meet the force needs to fight the war and imposed domestic economic controls\, although to a lesser degree than those used in World War II. Internationally\, the Korean War served as a catalyst for the increase of the US military contribution to the recently created North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It also established the military character of the Cold War\, that the main kinetic aspects of the conflict between the Soviet Union and the United States would be in proxy wars while the nuclear deterrent maintained a tense status quo between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. \nGates Brown is currently an associate professor in the Department of Military History at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. He received his PhD from the University of Kansas. His research interests include the early Cold War and the evolution of U.S. nuclear strategy in the late 1940s and 1950s.

SUMMARY:President Juan Manuel Santos
DESCRIPTION:The Dole Institute of Politics will honor Juan Manuel Santos\, former President of Colombia with the 2022 Dole Leadership Prize. \nThe Dole Leadership Prize is a bipartisan award presented annually to an individual who demonstrates the importance of involvement in political and civic affairs. Santos was identified for recognition by the late Senator Bob Dole in honor of his successful efforts to bring peace to Colombia. \n“We are honored to welcome President Santos back to the Dole Institute to present him with the 2022 Dole Leadership Prize\,” said Dole Institute director Audrey Coleman. The President’s 2012 visit marked the first time the Dole Institute hosted a sitting head of state. \nSantos graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in Economics and Administration and completed post-graduate studies at the London School of Economics and Harvard University. \nHe served two terms as President of Colombia from 2010-2018\, with one of the cornerstones of his administration being his work on a peace process with FARC\, the Colombian guerilla organization. As a result of his commitment to achieve peace in Colombia\, he was the sole recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2016 for “his resolute efforts to bring the country’s more than 50-year-long civil war to an end\,” according to the Norwegian Nobel Committee. \nThe program will take place at the Dole Institute of Politics at 7 p.m. on September 20. A book sale and signing will take place after the program. Attendees can purchase the English translation of Santos’ book\, The Battle for Peace: The Long Road to Ending a War with the World’s Oldest Guerrilla Army\, published by the University Press of Kansas.

SUMMARY:Fort Leavenworth: Angela Riotto and Derek Mallett: “Prisoners of War as Military Intelligence in the Civil War and World War 2"
DESCRIPTION:During the Second World War\, the US military interrogated over 3\,000 German Prisoners of War at a secret facility at Fort Hunt\, Virginia. These interrogations offer fascinating perspectives of the German situation in the final year of the war and allow us to evaluate how well American authorities knew its enemy at the time. \nDerek Mallett is currently an associate professor in the Department of Military History at the US Army Command and General Staff College\, Fort Belvoir\, Virginia satellite campus. His research interests include the Second World War\, prisoners of war\, military intelligence\, war and public memory\, and national security. \nAngela Riotto received her Ph.D. from the University of Akron. Her research examines the ways in which both U.S. and Confederate former prisoners of war discussed their captivity between 1861 and 1930. She currently teaches with the Department of Military History at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College as an Assistant Professor.
