Secrets Of Statecraft: H. R. McMaster In Peace And War

Published on September 28, 2022
Distinguished combat commander Lieutenant General H. R. McMaster speaks about his time as President Trump's National Security Adviser, American mistakes during the Vietnam War, his belief in learning from the past to help to think strategically about the present, and finally he discusses what the Biden Administration is getting wrong and right about the Russo-Ukrainian War.
ABOUT THE SERIES
Secrets of Statecraft​ is a bi-monthly podcast hosted by Andrew Roberts which explores the effect that the study of History has had on the careers and decision-making of public figures, and which will also ask leading historians about the influence that the study of History had on their biographical subjects. The title is taken from Winston Churchill’s reply on Coronation Day 1953 to a young American who had asked him for life-advice, to whom he said ‘Study History, study History, for therein lie all the secrets of statecraft.’

H R McMaster is a real 💎 I never thought I'd admire a man of war, the west's forces are more than just a weapon hence the pride and gratitude we show them/ us.

New game: Take a drink every time H.R. mentions Von Clausewitz lol. Joking aside, great discussion between two great minds!
