Is Regime Change Possible? Niall Ferguson vs. Richard Haass
Is war with Iran necessary, or a catastrophic choice? Two of the West’s most prominent foreign-policy thinkers clash over the defining geopolitical questions of our time: Should the United States go to war with Iran? Historian Niall Ferguson argues that the greater danger is allowing Tehran to obtain nuclear weapons. Former diplomat Richard Haass warns that preventive war risks unleashing a conflict far worse than the threat it seeks to eliminate.
One of the world’s most accomplished historians and provocative commentators on global politics and economics, Niall Ferguson stands at the crossroads of past, present, and future. As the author of sixteen books, Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and a senior faculty fellow of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard, Ferguson has provided audiences worldwide with unparalleled insight and knowledge.
With erudition, eloquence, and humor, Ferguson specializes in putting today’s economic shifts, social changes, and political disruptions into historical perspective, using the past as a roadmap to the future. To host Sir Ferguson for a speaking engagement, contact WWSG.
