Why America is Squandering its Chance to Build a Better World
A lecture by
Michael Hirsh
Senior Editor, Newsweek
Monday, June 9, 2003
7 to 9 pm
SRC 2800
College of DuPage
425 Fawell Blvd, Glen Ellyn, IL
Post-Cold War America is the world’s first Überpower, overseeing the global system. The United States has the unique opportunity to perpetuate indefinitely the global system it has built. Yet it might be squandering this chance by failing to realize what is at stake, by not having the international community on its side, and by not using global institutions such as the United Nations to assist.
Michael Hirsh is senior editor of Newsweek’s Washington, D.C., bureau. He is a co-winner of the Overseas Press Club Award for Best Magazine Reporting from Abroad in 2001 for “prescience in identifying the Al Qaeda threat half a year before September 11,” and for his coverage of the war on terror. His book, At War with Ourselves: Why America is Squandering its Chance to Build a Better World, will be available for purchase and signing at the program.
