Attend Book Interview The End of Everything with Victor Davis Hanson
On Monday, August 5, 2024, at 9:30 AM (PST), join the free online webinar to listen to best-selling author and the Giles-O'Malley Distinguished Visiting Professor at Pepperdine's School of Public Policy Victor Davis Hanson discuss his new book, The End of Everything, and raise a disturbing question: what happens when military defeat not only results in a loss of power, but in the utter destruction of a civilization?
Enjoy this live, online conversation with one of America's leading thinkers as he explores four historical examples drawn from ancient Greece, 15th century Europe, and 16th century Central America to better understand how loss on the battlefield expanded into the annihilation of a culture where distinct languages and customs are known to us today only in history books. Are there common factors between these seemingly disparate catastrophes? Are there lessons for today that Hanson would like readers to consider as we look back at battles fought over two millennia ago?
Pete Peterson (MPP '07), dean of the School of Public Policy, will be interviewing Hanson. There will be time for questions following the webinar.
