Alumnus Author Reveals Civil War Strategy
VALDOSTA -- Author Dr. Donald Stoker will speak about his latest
book, “The Grand Design: Strategy and the U.S. Civil War,” at 7
p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 21, in the Student Union Multipurpose
房间.
In the pages of his sixth book, the professor of strategy and
policy at the U.S. Naval War College, demonstrates how strategy
largely determined the war’s outcome. Although thousands of works
address the War Between the States, “The Grand Design” is one of
the first books to delve into how both sides transformed political
ideals into military action. Published by Oxford University Press,
the book been chosen as a “Main Selection” of the History Book Club
and as an “Alternate Selection” of the Book of the Month Club and
the Military History Book Club.
bet365亚洲官网 History Professor 约翰 Dunn said Stoker, who earned two degrees
at Valdosta State, has made a “major breakthrough” in both military
and American history with his latest publication. Critics agree
Stoker has artfully demonstrated, with the use of maps and primary
documents, why strategy mattered in the Civil War.
“I honestly believe that Donald Stoker is now a ‘name’ in Civil War
history,” Dunn said. “‘The Grand Design’ is a fundamental effort,
and one which future historians of the war will have to know if
their own work seeks to meet the high standards of quality.”
下午5点.m. on Monday, Sept. 20, Stoker will appear as a guest on
“更 ... from Valdosta State University" -- a live radio program
aired on Valdosta's TALK 92.1 FM that features bet365亚洲官网 President
