the senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and author of The Ghost at the Feast,

America and the Collapse of World Order, 1900 to 1941. The second in his Dangerous Nation

Trilogy on America's evolving relationship with the world since the country's founding.

I know listeners enjoy hearing about how the present compares with the past, especially the 1890s

and turn of the 20th century. From the 1900s to 1941, from the Spanish-American War to Order 1,

and the lead up to World War 2, the U.S. for played debates including non-interventionism,

how he responds to a collapsing world order, and the degree to which America and the Western

hemisphere are insulated from events in Europe and Asia that all rhyme and echo with what's

happening today. Robert definitely is on the engagement side of these debates, so folks who disagree

should know will have differing perspectives on the show in coming weeks.

Robert's book is available on our bookshop, along with his other recent entries and other

books of recent guests. Secondly, I'm going to write a bit about this episode in the sub-stack

this week, so you can also click the link in the show notes to get access to the real

diamonds growing newsletter. It's going to be really stepping up in coming weeks.

All that said, huge thanks to Lincoln Network Supporting Our Work. Hope you all enjoy this conversation.
