Professional Reading Society - April 15

We'll be reading "Velocity, Speed With Direction: The Professional Career of General Jerome F. O'Malley." Yep, the same O'Malley that Offutt's O'Malley Inn is named after.

From the Air University Press blurb about the book:
This storyline addresses the only question mark on O’Malley’s career—the Lavelle raids of February 1972. Using appropriate Nixon White House audio recordings and top secret messages (sent by the Joint chiefs of Staff to Vietnam) that were acquired through the Freedom of Information Act, Aloysius and Patrick Casey rescued from character assassination the reputation not only of Jerry O’Malley but also the reputation of Gen John D. Lavelle. They reveal the real culprit in the matter—the Nixon White House.
Go here to read or download a free pdf copy of the book. (If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader, go here to download it.) The discussion will be on April 15 from 11:30-1:00 in the Base Library's conference room. Bring a lunch - we'll provide drinks and cookies.
