2024 Augustus and Patricia Tagliaferri Dean's Distinguished Lecture

With a pivotal national election looming, one of the major policy questions being debated by the major presidential candidates is what should America's role in the world be? As we witness wars in Europe and the Middle East, regular terrorist attacks and threats around the world, and China's ascending role as a global power, this question is particularly timely.

Join us on October 9 for the 2024 Augustus and Patricia Tagliaferri Dean's Distinguished Lecture as we welcome one of America's foremost experts on national security, H.R. McMaster, to outline the major challenges facing the next administration. With his new book describing his time as national security advisor in the Trump Administration, At War with Ourselves, now published, Lt. Gen. (ret.) McMaster will both look back and ahead to provide an "insider's view" as well as a scholar's perspective on how we should consider American foreign policy during these turbulent times.
