Course Description


Instructor: Col. Lawrence Saul, US Army (Retired)

This lecture will explore warfare through imagery. Using historical paintings and modern photographs, we will look at the men, the myths and the legends of warfare from the late 18th century until today. We will see how imagery can enhance patriotism, enflame nationalism, or incite violence. More importantly, we will go deeper into the background of the imagery and discover hidden truths, historical errors or misconceptions. Think of the great historical images of military history and see how those images come alive!

Military historian and Colonel (retired) Lawrence Saul served for 34 years in the U.S. Army, including tours in Germany, Holland, Belgium, England, Kosovo and other locations. He was one of the last veterans of the Vietnam War still serving on active duty when he retired in 2008. He is a Battlefield Tour Guide with expertise in many key campaigns and battles, including D-Day, The Hurtgen Forest, Market-Garden and the Battle of the Bulge
