Author Kenneth Janda, Ph.D. and Payson S. Wild Professor Emeritus at Northwestern University will present his brand new book showing there was more to World War I than the Western Front. This history, presented as two intertwined narratives in alternating chapters, juxtaposes the experiences of a monarch and a Slovak peasant on the Eastern Front. The book will be available for purchase with a book signing to follow the lecture.
