31. On Strategists and Strategy

Guildhall

Lawrence Freedman

Peter Caddick-Adams

One of the world’s leading authorities on war and foreign policy, Sir Lawrence Freedman examines how strategy shapes the modern world. Drawing on a lifetime studying conflict, and serving as official historian of the Falklands War and adviser to the UK’s Iraq Inquiry, Freedman explores the thinkers, decisions and miscalculations that have defined global affairs. From nuclear deterrence to Vladimir Putin’s strategic ambitions, from the meaning of “stalemate” to lessons in crisis management, this timely and thought-provoking conversation with Peter Caddick-Adams offers a rare opportunity to understand the ideas behind today’s most pressing conflicts.
