The Haddonfield Friends of the Library invite you to join us for our annual two-day Book Sale on Saturday, September 20th, 10 AM - 4 PM and Sunday, September 21st 12 PM - 4 PM. We will be accepting book donations in good condition until September 15th. 

 

Join us for this lively discussion. The 100^th anniversary of the beginning of World War I, which will be commemorated in many places and many ways between 2014 and 2018, will remind the world that the "Great War" as it came to be known remains the most significant event of the 20^th century. The impact of the war continues into the 21^st century as the consequences of the four years of unrelenting bloodshed and horror permeate the politics of the world.

The assassination of Arch Duke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the throne of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, and his wife Sophie on June 28, 1914 set off a month of frantic political and military alarms that culminated in a series of declarations of war at the start of August and plunged most of Europe (and parts of Africa and Asia) into conflict. The belief that after a few battles the war would be over by Christmas and the status quo would be pretty much the same soon gave way to the nightmare (by Christmas there were already a million casualties) of four years of bloodshed that killed or wounded over forty million soldiers and civilians and destroyed the political structures of Europe.

 

Dr. Martin Novelli recently retired from Ocean County College after twenty-one years as Dean of Humanities and Fine Arts and Professor of Film, History and Humanities. He continues to teach one course a semester as Adjunct Professor of Liberal Arts at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. He is co-author (with Dr. Frank J. Wetta of Kean University) of THE LONG RECONSTRUCTION: THE POST-CIVIL WAR SOUTH IN HISTORY FILM, AND MEMORY (2013). He contributed an essay - "Bill Ehrhart as Educator" - to THE LAST TIME I DREAMED ABOUT THE WAR: ESSAYS ON THE LIFE AND WRITING OF W.D. EHRHART(2014) an international collection honoring Vietnam veteran, poet, essayist, activist, and teacher W.D. Ehrhart.
