Cutting the Fuse Conference

I have a special opportunity for members of the Small Wars Council and readers of the Small Wars Journal. Members and friends are invited to attend the "Cutting the Fuse" Conference on Capitol Hill.

The first two hundred participants to arrive at the Conference (details below in the official announcement) will receive a free copy of Robert Pape and Ken Feldman's new book Cutting the Fuse, already in its third printing.

If you have any questions, please feel free to either post them or PM me.

Also, updates will be available at the CPOST weblog cpost.uchicago.edu/blog

This offer extends to all members of the Small Wars Community, so if the moderators or editors wish to repost this on the weblog, please do so.
