British Lt. Gen. Nicholas Arthur William Pope

The U.S. Army Command and General Staff College hosted British Lt. Gen. Nicholas Arthur William Pope, CBE, deputy chief of the General Staff, in the 2017 Kermit Roosevelt Exchange Lecture Series. His lecture was entitled "The Special relationship… viewed from the end of the telescope" and focused on the relationship between the U.S. and British militaries.
