On Tuesday, May 19, at 7:15 pm in HSSB 6020 (McCune Room), the UCSB History Department and the Center for Cold War Studies and International History will show Stanley Kubrick's classic World War I film "Paths of Glory" (1957), about the court-martialing of French soldiers who refuse to continue a suicidal assault.



In addition to watching the movie, we will hear expert commentary by Prof. Ross Melnick of the UCSB Department of Film & Media Studies and Prof. Jack Talbott of the UCSB Department of History.  They will briefly discuss the significance of the film and the historical events on which it is loosely based.
