Back by popular demand, Karl Zingheim, historian at the USS Midway Museum, returns with the role of America's Navy and Marine corps in World War I, the conflict that dictated a 20th Century of ceaseless turmoil and the development of new armaments and modes of warfare. The personable Zingheim is noted for his ability to use engrossing stories to relate complex world events succinctly and clearly. The lecture precedes Nov. 11, Armistice Day that ended WW I if not its legacy, and heralds 2017, the centennial of America's entry into "the great war."
