In conversation with Robert E. Hamilton, Head of Eurasia Research - Eurasia Program, Foreign Policy Research Institute

Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation Endowed Lecture

The White House and national security correspondent for The New York Times, David E. Sanger has been a member of three Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist teams, including in 2017 for international reporting. His bestselling books include The Inheritance: The World Obama Confronts and the Challenges to American Power; Confront and Conceal: Obama’s Secret Wars and Surprising Use of American Power; and The Perfect Weapon: War, Sabotage, and Fear in the Cyber Age, which was adapted into an award-winning HBO documentary. Sanger is also a regular contributor to CNN and teaches national security policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. In New Cold Wars, he offers an in-depth account of the United States’ high-stakes struggles against two very dissimilar adversaries—Xi Jinping’s China and Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
