United States in WWII: Perspectives on History with a Modern-Day Context: United States, Japan, and the Start of WW II in the Pacific
The daring gamble by the Japanese to neutralize the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor catapulted America’s official entry into World War II. This event changed what was planned as a measured response towards Japanese hostilities in the Pacific into a galvanized American effort to drive Imperial Japan to the point of unconditional surrender.
Presented by Arthur Gottlieb, LCSW, CSA. Art Gottlieb is a local historian on subjects of political and military history. He was formerly a professional curator of naval history and the Technical Director of Exhibits at the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum in New York City. In these roles, Mr. Gottlieb worked regularly with veterans of all services towards the creation of exhibits accurately illustrating the history of 20th century warfare. Mr. Gottlieb maintains a private practice as a Counselor and Certified Senior Advisor in Norwalk, CT, and offers Pro Bono counseling services to soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Mr. Gottlieb served as an Auxiliary Officer of the United States Coast Guard for 17 years and for 4 years was Commander of Flotilla 7-2, 1st District (Southern Region), Sector Long Island Sound North. Registration is required for each program to receive the Zoom link.
Join us for the second in a 8-session series, sponsored by a grant from CT Humanities and co-sponsored by the Monroe Historical Society.

“Am I not a man and a brother?”
Race in America
Understanding the role of race in America is critical to grasping what is happening around us today. Race has always thrown a long shadow over social, economic, and political affairs throughout our history. This talk will center on the idea of race and how it has affected the United States. English attitudes toward their own significance in Christian history will come face to face with the economic benefits of slavery and of dispossessing Native Americans of their lands. Also examined will be the actions of native-born Americans and recent immigrants’ toward preserving an “American Way of Life” in the face of new arrivals, namely the Irish and Chinese.
Hamish Lutris is an Associate Professor of History, Political Science, and Geography at Capital Community College in Hartford, Connecticut. He has worked in some of America’s premier natural and historical sites, leading hiking and historical programs. He has also lectured extensively in the United States, Europe, and Canada, presenting programs on wide-ranging historical topics, including Native American history, the Civil War, Scientific History, Social and cultural history, World War I, World War II, and the American West.

Join us for a lively discussion with a different book pick each month. Copies of the book are available via Library-to-go one month prior to the discussion date.
This month's selection is "Daisy Jones and the Six" by Taylor Jenkins Reid
From Amazon.com: Everyone knows DAISY JONES & THE SIX, but nobody knows the reason behind their split at the absolute height of their popularity . . . until now.
Daisy is a girl coming of age in L.A. in the late sixties, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it’s the rock ’n’ roll she loves most. By the time she’s twenty, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things.
Also getting noticed is The Six, a band led by the brooding Billy Dunne. On the eve of their first tour, his girlfriend Camila finds out she’s pregnant, and with the pressure of impending fatherhood and fame, Billy goes a little wild on the road.
Daisy and Billy cross paths when a producer realizes that the key to supercharged success is to put the two together. What happens next will become the stuff of legend.
The making of that legend is chronicled in this riveting and unforgettable novel, written as an oral history of one of the biggest bands of the seventies. Taylor Jenkins Reid is a talented writer who takes her work to a new level with Daisy Jones & The Six, brilliantly capturing a place and time in an utterly distinctive voice.

United States in WWII: Perspectives on History with a Modern-Day Context: Atom Bomb
Since their first military use 75 years ago against Japan, few subjects have remained so controversial as the justification for use of atomic weapons. Prompting both the end of WWII in the Pacific and the beginning of a global cold war lasting 40 years, the proliferation and possible use of such weapons remains as a major peril into the 21st century.
Presented by Arthur Gottlieb, LCSW, CSA. Art Gottlieb is a local historian on subjects of political and military history. He was formerly a professional curator of naval history and the Technical Director of Exhibits at the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum in New York City. In these roles, Mr. Gottlieb worked regularly with veterans of all services towards the creation of exhibits accurately illustrating the history of 20th century warfare. Mr. Gottlieb maintains a private practice as a Counselor and Certified Senior Advisor in Norwalk, CT, and offers Pro Bono counseling services to soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Mr. Gottlieb served as an Auxiliary Officer of the United States Coast Guard for 17 years and for 4 years was Commander of Flotilla 7-2, 1st District (Southern Region), Sector Long Island Sound North. Registration is required for each program to receive the Zoom link.
Join us for the last in a 8-session series, sponsored by a grant from CT Humanities and co-sponsored by the Monroe Historical Society.
