From the Frontlines to the Homefront, Discover How Story Decides the
Outcome of War
Dear Fellow StoryTeller,
We are all watching history unfold before our eyes on television and on social media in Ukraine. But we often struggle to understand what it all means as we are watching it.
This video series takes you inside the making of history from someone who has lived it while serving in Iraq, and studied and taught history at West Point.
The War & StoryTelling in Ukraine Lecture series is designed to take you behind the scenes in how history is made, so you can better understand what you are seeing as the war in Ukraine unfolds.
By understanding and appreciating the role of StoryTelling in Ukraine and Ukraine News, you can also find ways to participate in Ukraine's heroic fight for freedom as it unfolds.
Join us in both watching and making history in Ukraine.
