Join the NHA for a special lecture and book signing with Stephen Kinzer, author of The True Flag: Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, and the Birth of American Empire.

In his new book Kinzer looks at the history and roots of American interventionism and argues that the question of “how should the United States act in the world?” is not a new one.

Kinzer brings to light the often forgotten political debate that erupted at the turn of the twentieth century when the United States found itself with the opportunity to dominate foreign lands. He explores how this debate set America’s interventionist course in the world and continues to remain a relevant and important debate in America’s current political affairs.
