Talk by Military Historian Robert Cowley
Columbia Club, 121 Monument Cir.,
(46204). 2PM. Military historian Robert Cowley will speak about his latest book
The Killing Season. In WWI, the Marne may have saved Paris and prevented a devastating setback for the Allies, but it did not spell eventual defeat for Germany. Ypres did. Mr Cowley re-examines the history of the battles and narrows it down to one afternoon that decided it all. Robert Cowley is an authority on American and European military history whose writing spans the Civil War to World War II. To get a seat, register HERE.
