Military affairs will of course be a major part of the material in the course, but this is not a military history course. No war is comprehensible without an understanding of the political, social, cultural, and economic developments it grew out of and produced. Scott Grau, also a doctoral candidate in history at The University of Iowa, is the instructor. Orders are shipped via UPS, so please include a street address.
