2008 William E. Colby
Military Writers’ SymposiumApril 2–4, 2008
The Colby Symposium has established itself as a premier forum for the discussion of military history, military intelligence operations and international affairs. Now in its 12th season, the Symposium is poised for yet another residency of inspired debate, discussion and sharing of knowledge.
The New Battlefield
Throughout American military history - whether on the beaches of Normandy, the frozen hills of Korea or the mean streets of Fallujah - soldiers, airmen and Marines all share a common commitment to service.
The lines of 21st century battlefield are not as clearly drawn - in fact they are downright vague and confusing for today's volunteer armed forces. There is little or no precedent to guide them. The harsh reality is that soldiers on the ground today often must improvise, knowing that their actions are often a matter of life and death. Many of them are Norwich men and women.
The challenges faced by those in the front lines of Iraq, Afghanistan and the Balkans is the subject of the 2008 William E. Colby Military Writers' Symposium.
The April 2008 Colby Symposium, scheduled for April 2-4 at Norwich University in Northfield, Vt., features guests David Bellavia, William Butterworth IV, Medal of Honor recipient Drew Dix, Jack Hamman, Col. T. X. Hammes USMC (Ret.), James Hornfischer, Mark Stoler, and Colby Award winner R. Alan King. Hornfischer will also moderate a panel featuring guests at the general session.
