Gallagher\, S.J.\nOn January 13\, 1940\, FBI agents burst into the homes and offices of 17 members of the Christian Front\, seizing guns\, ammunition\, and homemade bombs. J. Edgar Hoover’s charges were that the group planned to incite a revolution and install a “temporary dictatorship” in order to stamp out Jewish and Communist influence in the United States. This intriguing book chronicles the evolution of the front\, the transatlantic cloak-and-dagger intelligence operations that subverted it\, and the mainstream political and religious leaders who shielded the front’s activities from scrutiny. \nCharles R. Gallagher\, S.J. is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at Boston College. In 2017\, he held the William J. Lowenberg Memorial Fellow on America\, the Holocaust\, & the Jews\, at the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies\, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum\, Washington\, D.C. In 2009\, his book\, “Vatican Secret Diplomacy: Joseph P. Hurley and Pope Pius XII” (New Haven: Yale University Press\, 2008)\, won the John Gilmary Shea Prize of the American Catholic Historical Association. He writes on Vatican diplomacy\, the Holocaust\, and the intersections of religion and espionage. \nAdmission is $5.00 for members and $10.00 for non-members.

SUMMARY:War Pigeons: Winged Couriers in the U.S. Military\, 1878-1957

Macalaster\nWar Pigeons traces the remarkable service of homing pigeons in the U.S. Military\, from its beginnings after the Civil War to the birds’ invaluable communications role in every branch of the U.S. military through two world wars and beyond.  For 75 years\, through four wars on four continents\, these one-pound birds were the military’s most reliable means of communication\, carrying messages in and out of gas\, smoke\, exploding bombs and gunfire.  They flew through jungles\, across deserts\, mountains and large expanses of ocean.  Sometimes they arrived at their lofts nearly dead from wounds or exhaustion\, but they got their messages through. \nThe pigeon service in the U.S. was shut down in 1957\, but given the increasing threat of cyberattacks\, should the military restart a feathered branch? \nElizabeth Macalaster started her career as a marine biologist.  She turned to science journalism and worked for the U.S. Department of Interior and EPA on water quality issues.  Elizabeth now writes primarily science and history articles for newspapers and magazines.  Elizabeth is the author of Reckoning At Harts Pass\, an adventure/thriller in which homing pigeons play a covert role.  Elizabeth lives with her husband on the coast of Maine where she likes to hike\, row and watch land and seabirds. \nBooks can be purchased online at Amazon to bring with you and have signed by the author. \nAdmission is $5.00 for members and $10.00 for non-members.

Lobban\, Jr.\nThis presentation is a much anticipated follow up to Dr. Lobban’s 2021 talk on World War II from African Perspectives. His current presentation picks up the story with the important 1941 battles for Keren in Eritrea\, Culqualber Pass\, and Gondar in Ethiopia where British and colonial forces from Sudan and India\, from 1940 to 1941\, finally defeated the Italian fascists and diverted them from European deployment. Like the proverbial “views of the other side of the moon” the Indian Ocean theater in WW II was much more important than imagined and fortunately Dr. Lobban will tell us why. \nDr. Richard A. Lobban\, Jr. is an Adjunct Professor of African Studies at the \, Naval War College. \nAdmission is $5.00 for members and $10.00 for non-members. Please use the form below or call 603-569-1212 for reservations as seated is limited.
