Dr. James Lacey, MCWAR Director of War, Policy and Strategy Course, Authoring Online Column for National Review

Dr. James Lacey, Director, War, Policy and Strategy Course, will author a weekly column in The National Review Online.  While Dr. Lacey has written for The National Review in the past, he is only the second professor among War College faculty who has been invited to pen his own column.     The column will be non-partisan and pro-military but written from a conservative perspective in keeping with the voice of the National Review.  The column will address a variety of national-level issues subjects to include:

      – Political Economy (analysis of domestic and foreign markets, finance, and economics, and their implications on US strategy and security)

      – Military Affairs (analysis of current military issues for a general audience)

      – Strategic Issues (analysis of topical issues such as the unrest in the Middle East, energy policy, China, NATO, etc.)

Our congratulations to Dr. Lacey for this remarkable opportunity to showcase his scholarship. Marine Corps University’s reputation as a source for expertise and perspective is enhanced by his achievement.
