2022 Annual American Democracy Lecture with Michael Dobbs, best-selling author and Washington Post foreign correspondent will lecture on "Defending Democracy: Lessons from History."
As a presidential crisis historian, best-selling author, and foreign correspondent for the Washington Post, Michael Dobbs had a front row seat to the collapse of Communism, covering landmark events such as the breakup of the Soviet Union, the rise of Solidarity in Poland, and the Tiananmen protests in China. Dobbs has written six books on the Cold War and World War II, including the widely acclaimed One Minute to Midnight: Kennedy, Khrushchev and Castro on the Brink of Nuclear War, on the Cuban missile crisis. His latest book, King Richard, Nixon and Watergate: An American Tragedy, was named New York Times critics’ “Top Book of 2021.”
