About the Lecture:
A sequel to Michael Walsh’s Last Stands, his new book A Rage to Conquer is a journey through the twelve of the most important battles in Western history. As Walsh sees it, war is an important facet of every culture – and, for better or worse, our world is unthinkable without it. War has been an essential part of the human condition throughout history, the principal agent of societal change, waged by men on behalf of, and in pursuit of, their gods, women, riches, power, and the sheer joy of combat.
In A Rage to Conquer, Walsh brings history to life as he considers a group of courageous commanders and the battles they waged that became crucial to the course of Western history. He looks first at Carl Von Clausewitz, the seminal thinker in the Western canon dealing with war. He then moves on to Achilles at Ilium, Alexander at Gaugamela, Caesar at Alesia, Constantine at the Milvian Bridge, Aetius at the Catalaunian Plains, Bohemond at Dorylaeum and Antioch, Napoleon at Austerlitz, Pershing at St.-Mihiel, Nimitz at Midway and Patton at the Bulge with a final consideration of how the Battle of 9/11 was ultimately lost by the U.S. and what that portends for the future.

華盛頓, 鄰近美國白宮|購物中心

美國國會大廈

歷史建築

生长在海边的果果

國會大廈進去參觀需要提前預約買票，按照要求準時到達，人很多，一定要有提前量別影響行程。可以提前預約中文講解團，雖然是中文團但也是老外導遊說英語後用翻譯器翻成中文播放給我們聽，很有意思。國會大廈內部單從建築本身來看也很好看。進去參觀一定要跟講解

國家廣場

國家廣場是華盛頓旅遊的必打卡地，一頭是林肯紀念堂，一頭是華盛頓紀念碑，中間隔着一潭池水，兩邊是綠地。周邊有二戰勝利紀念碑，越戰等紀念碑，有傑斐遜紀念堂等。每年一度的華盛頓櫻花節美麗的櫻花也是在這周邊盛開。我們是4月底到的華盛頓，很可惜櫻花已經敗了，沒留下一點痕迹，只能想象下盛開的景象一定很美。

美國白宮

泰迪小熊

2017年9月22日來的。聽說白宮自從911之後就不對外開放了，我們去的時候只能在柵欄外遠觀了，所以白宮也就變成了一個無聊的地標，拍一張&ldquo;到此一游&rdquo;的遊客打卡照結束。白宮的南側有一顆很大的松樹，沒想到也是一個&ldquo;地標&rdquo;，是&ldquo;國家聖誕樹&rdquo;&hellip;&hellip;好吧，看來應該挑聖誕節期間來参觀。

林肯紀念堂

夜景

林肯紀念堂是美國歷史的標誌性象徵，也是一個具有深遠意義的地方。其雄偉的建築以亞伯拉罕&middot;林肯高聳的雕像為特色，值得尊敬和欽佩。莊嚴的倒影池在華盛頓紀念碑和國會大廈的映襯下，營造出令人驚嘆的景色。遊客沉浸在自由、平等、團結的精神之中，使其成為必遊之地。這座紀念碑在紀念美國最偉大的領導人之一及其關於人人享有自由和正義的持久信息方面所發揮的作用確實令人鼓舞。
