The Rotary Club of Waynesboro will hold a live-stream presentation featuring acclaimed historian Christopher Kolakowski at its weekly member meeting on Thursday, April 8.
The live stream will feature commentary by Kolakowski on the World War II Battle of Kohima. This 1944 battle between India and Japan is considered to be one of the greatest battles in British military history.
The presentation will last 30 minutes and there will be a brief Q&A session immediately after.

A recording of the live stream will be available on the webpage to access any time following the program.
Raised in Fredericksburg, Kolakowski received his BA in history and mass communications from Emory & Henry College, and his MA in public history from the State University of New York at Albany.
Currently the CEO of the Wisconsin Veterans Museum in Madison, Kolakowski has spent his career interpreting and preserving American military history. He is the author of four books on the American Civil War and World War II and has 21 videos in the CSPAN video library.
