Daniel Krauthammer on “The Point of it All”
LECTURE AND BOOK SIGNING
January 22 at 7:30pm
Daniel Krauthammer, the son of one of the most celebrated political thinkers of our time, the late Charles Krauthammer, will discuss his New York Times bestselling, powerful collection of his father’s most important works.
Spanning the personal, political, and philosophical, it features never before published speeches and a major new essay about the effect of today’s populist movements on the future of global democracy.
“The Point of It all” is edited with an introduction by the author’s son, Daniel Krauthammer, who spent the past year close by his father’s side in the hospital, working together toward the book’s completion.
The book is a reminder of what made Charles Krauthammer the most celebrated American columnist and political thinker of his generation, a look at the man behind the words, and a lasting testament to his belief that anyone with an open and honest mind can grapple deeply with the most urgent questions in politics and life.

Andrew Roberts on “Churchill: Walking with Destiny”
LECTURE AND BOOK SIGNING
February 21 at 7pm
Awarded by both The New York Times and Wall Street Journal as one of the 10 best books of 2018, Andrew Robert’s “Churchill: Walking with Destiny” is a landmark biography — based on extensive new material — of one of the great leader’s in 20th Century history.
When we think of great leaders with unalloyed courage, the person who comes to mind is Winston Churchill: the iconic, visionary war leader immune from the consensus of the day, who stood firmly for his beliefs when everyone doubted him. But how did young Winston become Churchill? What gave him the strength to take on the superior force of Nazi Germany when bombs rained on London and so many others had caved?
In his research, Roberts’ gained access to extensive new material including the transcripts of War Cabinet meetings, diaries, and unpublished memoirs of contemporaries. The Royal Family also permitted Roberts to be the first Churchill biographer to access the detailed diary notes taken by King George VI after weekly meetings with Churchill.
Andrew Roberts is the bestselling author of “The Storm of War: A New History of the Second World War,” “Masters and Commanders: How Four Titans Won the War in the West, 1941-1945,” “Waterloo: Napoleon’s Last Gamble” and “Napoleon: A Life,” winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for biography and a finalist for the Plutarch Award. He has won many other prizes, including the Wolfson History Prize and the British Army Military Book of the Year, and frequently writes for The Wall Street Journal.

U.S.-China Workshop: China’s Belt and Road Initiative and U.S. Grand Strategy
U.S.-China Workshop: China’s Belt and Road Initiative and U.S. Grand Strategy
May 23 at 7pm
In 2013, President Xi Jinping launched “The Belt and Road Initiative” a 21st Century vision of its ancient silk road trade routes. Its stated objective is to integrate China’s growing economy through the global economic system.
Through its various infrastructure projects, BRI runs through the continents of Asia, Europe, and Africa investing trillions in railroads, ports, pipelines, fiber-optic cables, satellites and internet connectivity.
As a consequence of China’s vision for global economic expansion, Chinese companies now have a controlling stake in 76 ports in 35 countries across the world. To protect its vast interests, China has also expanded its global security presence.
How does the BRI conform with China’s geopolitical ambitions? What does it mean for America’s interests and security?
