HMGS-East is very pleased to welcome Armchair General Magazine (ACG) as a participant in HISTORICON.

These historians will present ten talks covering World War II topics from North Africa to the Eastern Front to the Battle of the Bulge. Copies of ACG will be distributed free to attendees of these seminars (supplies are limited – plan to arrive early, as all seminars are first-come first-seated; no pre-reg!)
