Guest Speaker- Pulitzer Prize Winning Author and New York Times Correspondent, David E. Sanger
with Tom Jordan, President and CEO, Jordan and Jordan
Pulitzer Prize winning author David E. Sanger is the White House and national security correspondent for The New York Times and the bestselling author of The Inheritance, Confront and Conceal, and The Perfect Weapon. He has been a member of three teams that won the Pulitzer Prize, including in 2017 for international reporting about Russia’s effort to manipulate the presidential election. A contributor to CNN, he also teaches national security policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
David will discuss this latest book NEW COLD WARS (with Mary K Brooks), published in April 2024. In New Cold Wars, Sanger provides a framework for understanding America’s return to superpower conflict, the choices that lie ahead, and what is at stake for the United States and the world. Taking readers from the battlefields of Ukraine—where trench warfare and cyberwarfare are interwoven—to the Taiwan headquarters where the world’s most advanced computer chips are produced, to tense debates in the White House Situation Room, Sanger helps us make sense of the ever-changing equations that drive our geopolitical relations.
Featuring interviews with top officials from five administrations, including nearly every senior member of President Biden’s national security team, NEW COLD WARS: China's Rise, Russia's Invasion, and America's Struggle to Defend the West (Crown; April 16, 2024) by David Sanger uses Sanger’s deep access to tell the story of a global shock that took Washington by surprise: the revival of superpower conflict.
NEW COLD WARS is a fast-paced account of America’s plunge into simultaneous confrontations against two very different adversaries. For years, the United States was confident that the newly-democratic Russia and increasingly wealthy China could be lured into a Western-led order that promised prosperity and relative peace—so long as they agreed to Washington’s terms. By the time America emerged from the age of terrorism, it was clear that this had been a fantasy—a fantasy fully shattered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Now, the three powers are engaged in a high-stakes struggle for military, economic, political, and technological supremacy—with nations around the world pressured to take sides. Yet all three are discovering that they are maneuvering for influence in a far messier world than imagined. Cyber warfare has further shifted the equation; back in the old Cold War, America had never been dependent on its chief adversary for either the technology it needed to keep the United States running or the supply chains that kept America fed, clothed, and connected. These chains now link American consumers directly to the whim of Chinese leaders.
