Lectures at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces
During the Cold War years, students at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces in Washington, DC heard lectures by a number of distinguished guest speakers.
Transcripts of most of these lectures are now available online as Adobe PDF documents, thanks to the efforts of the National Defense University library staff.
The following list is an attempt to identify those lectures related to Cold War infrastructure, telecommunications and civil defense.
It may be incomplete, so researchers should search the NDU Library's Digital Collections for a complete list of the lectures.
