[Missouri-l] Reminder: Accessible World presents A Journey Through History, Feb 1. 2011

[Nancy Lynn]

            Subject: REMINDER: A JOURNEY THROUGH HISTORY ON February 1st 
presented by Accessible World



News Wire



On February first we will be listening to the author, John Keegan and 
discussing his bestselling book "THE FIRST WORLD WAR".



John Keegan, preeminent, military Historian, and author of the bestseller 
"The First World War" provides a panoramic if challenging history of the 
events which shaped the rest of the 20th century. He evaluates the 
strategies of generals such as Joffre, Haig and Hindenburg, describes the 
lives of infantry and cavalry as they slog through Gallipoli, the Somme, and 
Passchendaele. What exactly was "mobilization"? Since they were all related 
and spoke English, Why couldn't the rulers of the Great Powers just call 
each other on existing telephone lines and stop the war in 1914? Where and 
why did military plan-some took decades to perfect--s inevitably go wrong? 
To answer these and many more questions download the book and join us on Feb 
1 to listen to an interview   with the author.



Professor of Military History at Sand Hurst Military Academy, Britain's West 
Point, John Keegan has written over thirteen books on military history and 
handles the vast array of data quite well.
