Pershing Lecture Series: Gorlice-Tarnow and the Great Retreat - Scott Stephenson

Описание: As massive shells came crashing down on them, the Russian infantry huddled as low as they could in their trenches. Through the smoke, the German and Austro-Hungarian soldiers began their great offensive on the Eastern Front. Join Dr. Scott Stephenson as he illuminates how a local breakthrough in Galicia eventually led to a retreat of hundreds of miles with millions of Russian casualties, and how bitter divisions within the high command plagued both sides.

Featuring distinguished lecturers and authors from the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College Department of Military History, the Museum and Memorial is proud to host the Pershing Lecture Series, which fosters understanding of World War I and its impact on the law, international policy and culture of today.
