Professor of Conflict Resolution and Public Affairs at George Mason University Richard Rubenstein provides his thoughts on resolving America’s war in Iraq.

—–

Richard Rubenstein speaks at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, CA.

In his latest book, “Thus Saith the Lord,” Rubenstein studies how God of the ancient Israelites has influenced how we resolve conflict, and created the foundation of the American judicial system.

Rubenstein is a former director and current faculty member of George Mason University’s Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution (ICAR), the nation’s oldest and largest graduate program in conflict studies. An expert on religious conflict, terrorism, and methods of resolving serious international and domestic disputes, Rubenstein has lectured throughout America and Europe on topics ranging from the philosophy and practice of conflict resolution to the war on terrorism and the current conflict in Iraq.

World in Conflict asks the terrifying question, what if the Cold War didn’t end? The award-winning game represents the next-generation of strategy titles, pitting Cold War-era superpowers against one another with completely destructible 3D battlefields and blistering visuals using DX10 technology. World in Conflict features an innovative gameplay mechanism that removes traditional resource-gathering and base-building in favor of non-stop combat, tactical decisions and FPS-like intense action. The game also features a deep single-player campaign that showcases Hollywood-quality storytelling of the Cold War gone hot.

Features in World in Conflict include:
• Action-Focused Gameplay: World in Conflict focuses on tactical combat to create a game that is fast and hard-hitting — much like an FPS — by removing traditional base-building and resource gathering in favor of instant warfare and by doing so, creating a new category of PC games: Action-Strategy
• Dramatic Single-Player Campaign: World in Conflict’s single player mode will offer a deep and emotional storyline created by renowned author and cold war authority, Larry Bond; players will strap on the combat boots of a young field commander featuring Hollywood voice-over talent and a thrilling personal journey through World War III
• Accessibility: World in Conflict’s FPS-like control scheme and 360-degree camera make its action-strategy gameplay exciting for hardcore strategy fans as well as accessible to fans of other genres — strategy fans will love World in Conflict. For gamers who have never played strategy before, World in Conflict is the game to try
• Deep Multiplayer With “Next-Gen” Features: World in Conflict will support up to 16 players for head-to-head and team-based battles in Domination, Tug-of-War and Assault modes; online play will feature built-in Voice-over IP (VoIP), support for clan management, competitive ladders, online tournaments, chat rooms, friends lists and more
• Real World Super-Powered Warfare: Unleash the authentic military arsenals of the great superpowers including tanks, planes, trucks, troops and helicopters from the USA, Soviet Union and NATO; as well as massive tactical attacks such as carpet bombings, long-range artillery, napalm and nuclear weapons
• Player Roles — Innovative in the strategy genre, players will choose to engage the enemy as Infantry, Armor, Support, or Air specialists; multiplayer teams will need to master each role and their cooperative elements for maximum effectiveness
• Bleeding-Edge Graphics — The latest version of Massive’s proprietary Masstech engine uses DX10 technology, with advanced lighting, particle and physics effects, and allows for a full 360-degree range of camera control
• Complete Destructibility — As the battle rages, the world environment pays the price as every object — houses, trees and more — crumble under the force of war
• Scalability: While pushing the bleeding edge, Massive’s proprietary Masstech engine also scales down to accommodate a wide range of PC specifications — if you’ve played a modern PC game within the last two years, you’ll be able to play World in Conflict

The World in Conflict Collector’s Edition will include limited edition extras for hardcore fans and Cold War enthusiasts, including an authentic piece of the Berlin Wall, a bonus DVD from The History Channel®, behind the scenes videos and special packaging. Additional pre-order bonuses for the Collector’s Edition and Standard Edition versions of World in Conflict are now available at participating retailers across North America, including an additional bonus DVD from The History Channel® and other added content.

In this masterly double biography, Nicholas Thompson brings Nitze and Kennan to life. Nitze–the hawk, and Thompson’s grandfather–was a consummate insider who believed that the best way to avoid a nuclear clash was to prepare to win one. More than any other American, he was responsible for the arms race. Kennan–the dove–was a diplomat turned academic who authored what was arguably history’s most influential, if not its longest, telegram. The often-misunderstood architect of the Cold War’s containment strategy, Kennan exercised more influence on foreign affairs than any other private citizen.

Thompson’s vividly written book weaves a fascinating narrative that follows these two rivals and friends from the beginning of the Cold War to its end, thus telling the story of the last half-century from an intriguing vantage point. http://www.newamerica.net/events/2009/cold_wars_friendliest_quarrel

After finishing with his survey of the manner in which historians have explained the coming of the Civil War, Professor Blight focuses on Fort Sumter. After months of political maneuvering, the Civil War began when Confederates fired on Fort Sumter, in the harbor outside Charleston, SC. The declaration of hostilities prompted four more states–Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Arkansas–to secede. Professor Blight closes the lecture with a brief discussion of some of the forces that motivated Americans–North and South–to go to war.
