Professor Jonathan P. Roth, lecturer.
Professor Roth, a military historian, presents a different look at war and its history. Instead of focusing on battles, campaigns, and strategies in individual wars, he looks at the story of the intimate interconnections of war with human cultures and societies and how these connections have shaped history. War not only destroys it creates: the growth of essential new technologies; the adoption of complex economic systems; the ideology and culture of nations; developments in art and literature; and spreads exposure to and understanding of different faiths across the globe.
