Sir John C. Slessor, Marshal of Great Britain's Royal air Force, will deliver the second Gustav Pollak Lecture in Sanders Theatre at 8 p.m. Monday. Slessor will speak on "A British View of the World Strategic Situation."
Under the auspices of the Harvard School of Public Administration, the lecture will be open to all.
Air Marshal Slessor is the author of "Strategy for the West," published in 1954, the only full scale discussion of global strategy published by a senior military official of the Allies since World War II.
In 1952 the Royal Air Force leader, as a member of the Chiefs of Staff Committee in England, aided in a re-evaluation of British strategy at the direction of Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill. This study, according to military experts, has had a substantial influence upon American policy and strategy.
