NYS Writers Institute event: Balancing on the Brink of Chaos
A conversation on the future of America's foreign policy with author Robert D. Kaplan and Bartle Bull.
Kaplan’s newest book is Waste Land: A World in Permanent Crisis (Jan. 2025), an urgent exploration of a world in which every regional disaster threatens to become a global conflict— featuring lessons from history that may help us stop the spiral.
Bartle Bull, former editor of the Middle East Monitor, is the author of Land Between the Rivers: A 5,000-Year History of Iraq (2024), an epic, five millennia history of the region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers— the birthplace of civilization, and an essential crossroads between East and West up until today. He has reported from the Middle East for the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Daily Telegraph, Foreign Policy, Die Welt, and other publications. He is the only western journalist to have been embedded with the Shia militia known as the Mahdi Army in Iraq.
