Monday June 20th, 2011. 7pm
Dear History Political Science Instructors & Professors,
This year marks the 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbor and America’s entry into the war. Following this terrible attack, as Prime Minister, Churchill traveled to Washington to begin working with President Roosevelt in forming a Grand Alliance that would solidify the special relationship between Britain and America.
To commemorate this 70th anniversary year, The Churchill Centre is glad to announce a special lecture: Churchill, Roosevelt and the Road to Pearl Harbor on Monday, June 20th 2011 by Prof. John Maurer. John Maurer is Chairman of the Strategy and Policy Department at the U.S. Naval War College. He has also served on the Secretary of the Navy’s advisory committee on naval history and has authored books on the outbreak of the First World War, military interventions in the developing world, naval arms control between the two world wars, and a study about Winston Churchill’s views on British foreign policy and strategy. Before joining the faculty of the Naval War College, he was executive editor of Orbis: A Journal of World Affairs. Dr. Maurer holds a Ph.D. in International Relations from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.
The Pearl Harbor commemorative event will be held in the Great Hall of the Diocesan House at St. Mark’s in Seattle (Map). The lecture will begin promptly at 7:00pm and afterwards we will have an opportunity to meet Prof. Maurer over a selection of English desserts and scones from Elizabeth & Alexanders. The cost of the evening will be $25 ($15 for students and veterans) and can be paid on arrival. Please reply to this email to reserve a place as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Simon A. Mould, Ed. D.
