I feel kind of out of it. I thought this guy Osgood sounded too good to be teaching at some small school somewhere. But it turns out this is a fairly prestigious institution in its niche. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_School_of_Mines

In this lecture he does mention the concept of "Total War" and how it drove the thinking behind these actions.

It also occurs to me that this kind of history is particularly relevant in a school that trains engineers for the petroleum industry.
