How to End a Failing War
Tuesday, September 14
6:00 - 7:00 PM
|
|
For a century, up until 1945, the United States won almost all its major wars. But since World War II, the country has endured a string of failures and stalemates in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The problem of ending an unwinnable war is the ultimate test of the resilience of the target country, the U.S. military, and even American society. Professor of political science at Swarthmore College Dominic Tierney will explain why the U.S. struggles on the battlefield, how Washington can resolve a failing war, and how America can return to the path of victory.
