EVENT DETAILS

David H. Petraeus (General, U.S. Army, Retired) is Chairman of the KKR Global Institute and a former Director of the CIA. Max Boot (moderator) is Jeane J. Kirkpatrick Senior Fellow for National Security Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and the author of Invisible Armies: An Epic History of Guerrilla Warfare from Ancient Times to the Present.
