Robert M. Gates with Pete Chiarelli: Exercise of Power
Recommended
Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates served under Presidents Bush and Obama and also directed the CIA. Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He belongs to another era. Tonight, he'll argue that the current state of our country is the result of the failure of political leaders to understand the complexity of American power, "its expansiveness, and its limitations," drawing from his book Exercise of Power: American Failures, Successes, And A New Path Forward In The Post-cold War World.
