Evan Thomas: " America, War, and Empire: A Love-Hate Relationship."

Evan Thomas: America, War and Empire


Editor, Newsweek; Author, The War Lovers


Thomas’s work in journalism has won him praise from all quarters. He explores our nation’s idiosyncratic urge to invade via the context of the Spanish-American War. He will present his take on America’s mindset for war, drawing links between the likes of hawkish Teddy Roosevelt and William Randolph Hearst and our current leaders.
