A Conversation with Gen David Petraeus on N Korea, Russia, ISIS, Journalism | Churchill Weekend 2017

Описание: Gen. David H. Petraeus, (Ret.), talks about American threats from North Korea, Russia, ISIS, the importance of truth-seeking journalists, and Winston Churchill's 1946 "Iron Curtain" speech At the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury and the National Churchill Museum on the campus of Westminster College in Fulton, MO.

During his 37-year career in the U.S. Army, General Petraeus, was widely recognized for his command of the organization that produced the U.S. Army's counterinsurgency manual and overhauled all aspects of preparing U.S. Army leaders and units for deployment to combat; for his leadership of the Surge in Iraq, during which violence in Iraq was greatly reduced; and for his command of forces in Afghanistan as they reversed the momentum of the Taliban and enabled the commencement of the transition of tasks to Afghan forces.

The day's event are in conjunction with Churchill Weekend, and the first ever meeting at the National Churchill Museum by the board members of Washington D.C.-based International Churchill Society.
