SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Rebels At Sea
DESCRIPTION:Best-selling author\, Eric Dolin\, reclaims the daring freelance sailors who proved essential to the winning of the Revolutionary War. The heroic story of the founding of the U.S. Navy during the Revolution has been told before\, yet missing from most maritime histories of America’s first war is the ragtag fleet of private vessels\, from 20-foot whaleboats to 40-cannon men-of-war\, that truly revealed the new nation’s character―above all\, its ambition and entrepreneurial ethos. Dolin corrects that significant omission\, and contends that privateers\, though often seen as profiteers at best and pirates at worst\, were in fact critical to the Revolution’s outcome.\n\nFREE to the public\nBook sales and signing to follow the lecture.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Jonathan Turley: Rage and the Republic
DESCRIPTION:Professor Jonathan Turley will be discussing his book\, \"Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution\". The New York Times bestseller has been described by former NPR editor Uri Berliner as “Jonathan Turley's birthday gift to America to mark its 250 years of independence... A wise guide to avoid wrecking the American project.\"\n\nTurley explores the unique elements of the American Revolution in comparison to its counterpart in France. He discusses why one became the world’s oldest democracy and the other became the infamous “Terror.” That story is told with vivid stories of the personalities of the age\, including Thomas Paine’s\, who was one of two leading figures in both revolutions (the other being Lafayette).  Turley takes that rich history and asks whether the American Republic can survive the 21st Century.
