Destined for War: Can America and China Escape Thucydides’s Trap?
Thursday Nov 02, 6:00-7:30PM ET
Graham Allison, Harvard University
Ancient Greek historian Thucydides wrote that when a rising power threatens to displace a ruling one, war is inevitable. Best-selling author Graham Allison sees chilling parallels today.

Trump, North Korea, China: War or Peace
Monday Nov 13, 8:00-9:15 AM ET
Author and Lawyer Gordon Chang

Thursday Nov 30, 8:00- 9:15 AM ET
David Miliband, International Rescue Committee
