On Grand Strategy
April 12, 8:00-9:15 AM ET
John Lewis Gaddis
How do leaders make strategic decisions? What defines great leadership? In "On Grand Strategy," John Lewis Gaddis assesses grand strategic theory in practice from the ancient world through World War II and beyond. Full of vivid examples of leadership and strategic thinking, from the Persian king Xerxes to Churchill and Roosevelt in WWII, Gaddis brings a deep knowledge of history, insight, and wit to the rigorous study of leadership.
The People vs. Democracy: Why Our Freedom Is in Danger and How to Save It
April 19, 8:00-9:15 AM ET
Yascha Mounk

Is this the last chance to save democracy—both in the United States and globally?
