Thursdays, June 29 - July 13, 7-9 p.m.

We'll explore George Washington's 1776 campaign for control of New York, pitting a British Army of 32,000 troops against Washington's 14,000. We'll study General William T. Sherman's 1864 Atlanta campaign where more than 100,000 Union soldiers fought for four months against Joseph E. Johnston's 60,000 troops to control the Confederate city. Finally, we'll focus on World War II's Battle of the Bulge. The last major German offensive attempted to drive a wedge between the U.S. and British armies in an effort by Hitler to force a negotiated peace. The month-long campaign incurred nearly 61,000 American and 120,000 Germans casualties.
