“The Complexity of War,” a Winter Term course offered at Brooks, is popular, and for good reason. The course delves into questions surrounding the experience of going to war, focusing on the Vietnam War and American involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. Head of School John Packard is one of the course's teachers and takes the students on a three-day trip to Washington, D.C. This year, the Bulletin tagged along to get an up-close look at the course, its students and the lessons they learned.
