One hundred years ago this week, Japanese and Russian delegates came to our seacoast to hash out an agreement ending their war over territory. We'll examine this often overlooked treaty and its importance to New Hampshire and the world. Laura is joined by Chuck Doleac, chair of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty Centennial Committee, and President of the Japanese-American Society of New Hampshire, and Bill Martel, Professor of National Security Affairs at the Naval War College in Rhode Island. We will also hear from Marguerite Mathews, Artistic Director for the play "The Peace of Portsmouth" being performed at the Pontine Theatre.
