conference will honor Professor of History Emeritus Edward M. Coffman, the

his contributions to the study of the American armed forces.

Scheduled for October 23-25, 1998, the conference will be held at the new

The conference will feature a special lecture by Stephen E. Ambrose,

Eisenhower Center, the national D-Day Museum in New Orleans, and a graduate
of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The conference will focus on the cross-cultural, international impact of the
American armed forces in the Asia-Pacific area. Papers that deal with

pacification policies, and coalition warfare are especially encouraged.
