OU School of International and Area Studies to host guest speaker this week

A Naval War College professor and author of highly regarded works on counter-insurgency will hold a public lecture at OU early this week.

The talk, titled "Reflections of a Pachyderm: A Life in Counterinsurgency", will be centered around Dr. John D. Waghelstein's work in the military as a commander in Central America and his experience in dealing with insurgents.

OU professor John T. Fishel says this is only the first of many lectures to be held here this semester as part of his presidential dream course Small Wars and Conflicts.


It will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Nielson Hall Room 270 and is sponsored by the OU School of International and Area Studies.
