S6E06 Mark Grotelueschen - US Air Force Academy

Today's guest is Chicago-native cum St. Louis Cardinals fan Mark Grotelueschen. Mark is Professor of Military and Strategic Studies at the US Air Force Academy, where he's taught for several years both in uniform and now as a civilian in the Department of Military and Strategic Studies. A USAFA graduate and now retired Air Force officer with 27 years of service, Mark earned his MA from the University of Calgary and his PhD from Texas A&M (yep, another one of those!). Despite his Air Force background, Mark's scholarship centers on the US Army in the First World War, including his well-received book The AEF Way of War: The American Army and Combat in World War I (Cambridge) and a new project on the September 1918 Battle of Saint-Mihiel. You'll enjoy our chat - we talk growing up in a large family, discovering the Air Force had a "school," being stationed in Alaska, being mentored by Dennis Showalter and Brian Linn, even Journey tribute bands. Enjoy!

Shoutout to Steamboat BBQ in Wheaton, Illinois!
