The Gray Zone Dilemma – Irregular Warfare in the South China Sea Facilitator Michael Hauser for the World Affairs Council of the Mid-Hudson Valley. Since World War II, the term Irregular Warfare (IW) has become an increasingly common aspect in the study of warfare and statecraft. Comprising concepts such as guerrilla warfare, counterterrorism, unconventional warfare, and counterinsurgency, IW today is seemingly ubiquitous as major powers utilize IW strategy to exploit the “gray zone” between peace and war. This presentation will summarize the scope of IW and focus on the South China Sea as a case study for modern IW. Presented in cooperation with the World Affairs Council of the Mid-Hudson Valley.

Join us for a talk with former Woodstock Times editor Brian Hollander, who will read from his recent book Nothing of Insignificance. From his very first article, a profile of a pool hall legend in Kingston, Hollander has searched out the unexpected stories that give Woodstock its character. He drives a doctor’s treasured sports car, plays with his bluegrass band at a reception for Bill Clinton, hangs out in a boxing gym above a police station in Catskill that trained Mike Tyson, and joins with Woodstockers driving relief supplies to lower Manhattan in the wake of 9/11. He profiles famous figures such as Sonny Rollins, William Kennedy, Garth Hudson, Levon Helm, and Philippe Petit. From 30 years of journalism with the Woodstock Times and the Kingston Daily Freeman, Hollander has selected 40 of his favorite pieces. — from the publisher The Woodstock Library Forum is the longest running cultural affairs program in the Hudson Valley and is sponsored by The Friends of the Woodstock Library.
