Greetings, everyone. I am Ellen Alan Clark and i am the Library Director for the American Revolution institute and it is my special pleasure to welcome you and to introduce our speaker, dr. Christy pichichero. She is the associate professor at george mason university. Her talk this evening is being held in conjunction with our current exhibition revolutionary reflections french memories of the war for america, which is on view behind this fireplace. Will be discussing war and the enlightenment in the context of french experiences during the American Revolution.

These themes are at the center of her book military war and culture in the french empire from louis the 14th to napoleon. Published by
