When Joe Biden assumed the presidency, he brought with him one of the most experienced foreign policy teams in modern U.S. history. National security reporter Alexander Ward’s first book takes readers behind the scenes to reveal the Biden team’s struggle to enact a coherent and effective set of policies across several global crises. From the Afghanistan withdrawal to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine—and the subsequent fallout from both—Ward provides the first glimpse at how history may view the Biden administration’s foreign policy. Please join us for a discussion with the author and a panel of foreign policy experts.

**Lunch to follow.**

##### Featured Book 

### *[The Internationalists: The Fight to Restore American Foreign Policy after Trump](https://www.amazon.com/Internationalists-Restore-American-Foreign-Policy/dp/0593539079?tag=catoinstitute-20)*

When Joe Biden assumed the United States presidency, he brought with him a team of all-star talent, perhaps the most experienced ensemble of policy experts in modern U.S. history. Their mission: repair America’s damaged reputation abroad and decide the course of its global future.

The challenges and risks could not have been greater. Around the world, adversaries were consolidating power, allies were drifting away, wars were raging, and climate change was accelerating, all while Russia was disrupting democracies and China was seeking to replace the U.S. as the world’s preeminent power.
