Join us for a wide-ranging conversation with Sir Lawrence Freedman, the Lowy Institute's 2022 Distinguished Fellow for International Security and one of the world’s most respected military strategists. The discussion will range from the Ukraine war and tensions over Taiwan to the future of warfare and the changing nature of military command, the subject of Sir Lawrence's latest book. The conversation will be moderated by the Director of the Lowy Institute’s International Security Program, Sam Roggeveen, and will include audience questions.
