He grew up in northern Virginia, received his BA and MA degrees in history at George Mason University, and did his doctoral work at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

   He is the author, editor, or co-editor of eight books and monographs on Civil War and military history, including McClellan's War:  The Failure of Moderation in the War for the Union; Antietam, South Mountain and Harpers Ferry:  A Battlefield Guide; Robert E. Lee and the Fall of the Confederacy; The Ongoing Civil War: New Versions and Old Stories (with Herman Hattaway), and A Single Grand Victory: The First Campaign and Battle of Manassas, as well as articles, essays, and reviews in various academic and popular history publications.

       The lecture series is sponsored by the UCLA Center for the Liberal Arts and Free Institutions(CLAFI).  The series opened on October 13 with a lecture by UCLA's Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, Daniel Walker Howe.  Each year at least two lectures will be given on the corresponding year of the Civil War, with one of the lectures addressing military developments.

          Professor Rafuse will also be participating in a seminar on Saturday (10:30 - 12:30 in Room 2442 of the Law School Building, with pizza to follow) on "Military History and the Opening of the Civil War."  A few slots are open.  To enroll and receive the readings for the seminar, write to Professor Daniel Lowenstein at Lowenstein at law.ucla.edu<mailto:Lowenstein at law.ucla.edu>.  Enrollment is not necessary for the lecture.  Both events are free and open to all.
