SUMMARY:Meet Martha MacCallum
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 6\, 2020 | 7:00 PM\nAnchor of The Story with Martha MacCallum on Fox News Channel and author of Unknown Valor: A Story of Family\, Courage\, and Sacrifice from Pearl Harbor to Iwo Jima\n\nIn honor of the 75th Anniversary of one of the most critical battles of World War II\, the popular primetime Fox News anchor of The Story with Martha MacCallum pays tribute to the heroic men who sacrificed everything at Iwo Jima to defeat the Armed Forces of Emperor Hirohito—among them\, a member of her own family\, Harry Gray. \nAdmiral Chester Nimitz spoke of the “uncommon valor” of the men who fought on Iwo Jima\, one of the bloodiest and most brutal battles of World War II. In thirty-six grueling days\, nearly 7\,000 Marines were killed and 22\,000 were wounded. \nMartha MacCallum takes you from Pearl Harbor to Iwo Jima through the lives of these men of valor\, among them Harry Gray\, a member of her own family. \nIn Unknown Valor\, she weaves their stories as told through letters and recollections into the larger history of what American military leaders rightly saw as an eventual showdown in the Pacific with Japan. \nPurchase Tickets Now \nContact Reina Magana to RSVP for the President’s Council reception at 714-364-1108 or reina@nixonfoundation.org. \n

SUMMARY:Nicholas Sarantakes on Nixon and Sports
DESCRIPTION:Author of Fan in Chief: Richard Nixon and American Sports\, 1969-1974\nNOVEMBER 4 AT 7PM\nLECTURE & BOOK SIGNING \nNicholas Evan Sartantakes\, Professor of History at the Naval War College\, will discuss President Nixon’s intertwined\, and relatively unknown\, relationship with the spectacle of American sports. \nWhile in office\, President Nixon did a lot more than just throw out the first baseball of the season; he was a genuine baseball and football fan\, and his interest and engagement in American sports had an impact on the culture of the nation. \nIn this in-depth study\, Sarantakes argues that sports are central to understanding Richard Nixon. When watching sports or attending athletic events\, Nixon was his most unguarded and articulate. Consequently\, Nixon was able to use sports in a way that communicated a recreational pastime\, allowing him to effectively express his leadership\, values\, and policies to the American people. \nClick Here to Register.

SUMMARY:Meet Microsoft President Brad Smith
DESCRIPTION:Author of Tools and Weapons: The Promise and the Peril of the Digital Age at the Richard Nixon Library \nModerated by Hugh Hewitt\, President of the Richard Nixon Foundation \nTalk and Book Signing \nMicrosoft President Brad Smith operates by a simple core belief: When your technology changes the world\, you bear a responsibility to help address the world you have helped create. This might seem uncontroversial\, but it flies in the face of a tech sector long obsessed with rapid growth and sometimes on disruption as an end in itself. \nWhile sweeping digital transformation holds great promise\, we have reached an inflection point. The world has turned information technology into both a powerful tool and a formidable weapon\, and new approaches are needed to manage an era defined by even more powerful inventions like artificial intelligence. Companies that create technology must accept greater responsibility for the future\, and governments will need to regulate technology by moving faster and catching up with the pace of innovation. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Meet Mollie Hemingway and Carrie Severino\, Authors of "Justice on Trial"
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin authors Mollie Hemingway\, senior editor at the Federalist and a contributor to Fox News\, and Carrie Severino\, chief counsel and policy director of the Judicial Crisis Network and a graduate of Harvard Law School who clerked for Justice Clarence Thomas on the U.S. Supreme Court\, as they discuss their #1 national bestseller Justice on Trial: The Kavanaugh Confirmation and the Future of the Supreme Court. The discussion will be moderated by Nixon Foundation president Hugh Hewitt. \nThe book has been hailed as the definitive insider’s account of Kavanaugh’s appointment to the Supreme Court\, which was crafted using their extraordinary access to more than one hundred key figures—including the president\, justices\, and senators—in that ferocious political drama. \nThe Trump presidency opened with the appointment of Neil Gorsuch to succeed the late Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court. But the following year\, when Trump drew from the same list of candidates for his nomination of Brett Kavanaugh\, the justice being replaced was the swing vote on abortion\, and all hell broke loose. \nThe judicial confirmation process\, on the point of breakdown for thirty years\, now proved utterly dysfunctional. Unverified accusations of sexual assault became weapons in a ruthless campaign of personal destruction\, culminating in the melodramatic hearings in which Kavanaugh’s impassioned defense resuscitated a nomination that seemed beyond saving. \nIn this thoroughly researched account of Brett Kavanaugh’s judicial confirmation process\, which quickly evolved into what the eventual nominee called a “national disgrace” and “circus” by\, is examined in hour-by-hour detail. And\, as authors Hemingway and Severino warn\, that with the stakes of each vacancy incalculably high\, the next time a nomination promises to change the balance of the Court the confirmation fight will be even uglier. \nGeneral Admission: $10.00 \nMember Admission: $8.00 \nRegister HERE to attend.

DESCRIPTION:Senator Tom Cotton\nLecture and Book Signing at the Nixon Library\nWednesday\, May 29\, 2019 | 7:30 PM\nBefore he was the U.S. Senator from Arkansas\, Tom Cotton was a platoon leader with the storied 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment— “The Old Guard” — on combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. \nJoin us on May 29\, 2019 as Senator Cotton discusses his new book Sacred Duty: A Soldier’s Tour at Arlington National Cemetery\, an extraordinary journey behind the scenes of Arlington National Cemetery. \nThe program will be moderated by incoming Nixon Foundation President Hugh Hewitt. \nGeneral Admission: $45\nNixon Foundation Members: $35\nPresident’s Society Member VIP Reception: $75 \nEvent admission includes an autographed copy of Sacred Duty! \n  \nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\nAn extraordinary journey behind the scenes of Arlington National Cemetery\, Senator Tom Cotton’s Sacred Duty offers an intimate and inspiring portrait of “The Old Guard\,” the revered U.S. Army unit whose mission is to honor our country’s fallen heroes on the most hallowed ground in America. \nCotton was a platoon leader with the storied 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment—The Old Guard—between combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. At the height of the Iraq Surge\, he carried the flag-draped remains of his fallen comrades off of airplanes at Dover Air Force Base\, and he laid them to rest in Arlington’s famed Section 60\, “the saddest acre in America.” He also performed hundreds of funerals for veterans of the Greatest Generation\, as well as the Korean and Vietnam Wars. \nThe Old Guard has embodied the ideals of honor and sacrifice across our nation’s history. America’s oldest active-duty regiment\, dating back to 1784\, The Old Guard conducts daily military-honor funerals on the 624 rolling acres of Arlington\, where generations of American heroes rest. Its soldiers hold themselves to the standard of perfection in sweltering heat\, frigid cold\, and driving rain. Every funeral is a no-fail\, zero-defect mission\, whether honoring a legendary general or a humble private. \nIn researching and writing the book\, Cotton returned to Arlington and shadowed the regiment’s soldiers\, from daily funerals to the state funeral of President George H. W. Bush to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier\, reliving the honor—and the challenges—of duty at the nation’s “most sacred shrine.”= \nPart history of The Old Guard\, part memoir of Cotton’s time at Arlington\, part intimate profile of today’s soldiers\, Sacred Duty is an unforgettable testament to the timeless power of service and sacrifice to our nation. \nTom Cotton is a United States Senator from Arkansas. He served in Iraq with the 101st Airborne Division and in Afghanistan with a Provincial Reconstruction Team. Between combat tours\, he served with the United States Army’s 3rd Infantry Regiment (“The Old Guard”) at Arlington National Cemetery. His military decorations include the Bronze Star\, the Combat Infantryman Badge\, and the Ranger Tab. He served one term in the House of Representatives before being elected to the Senate. \nPURCHASE TICKETS

The Royal Family also permitted Roberts to be the first Churchill biographer to access the detailed diary notes taken by King George VI after weekly meetings with Churchill. \nAndrew Roberts is the bestselling author of “The Storm of War: A New History of the Second World War\,” “Masters and Commanders: How Four Titans Won the War in the West\, 1941-1945\,” “Waterloo: Napoleon’s Last Gamble” and “Napoleon: A Life\,” winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for biography and a finalist for the Plutarch Award.

SUMMARY:Meet Todd Purdum
DESCRIPTION:Author of “Something Wonderful: Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Broadway Revolution”\n7PM Lecture\, Audience Q&A and Book Signing \nA revelatory portrait of the creative partnership that transformed musical theater and provided the soundtrack to the American Century. \nThey stand at the apex of the great age of songwriting\, the creators of the classic Broadway musicals “Oklahoma!”\, “Carousel”\, “South Pacific”\, “The King and I”\, and “The Sound of Music”\, whose songs have never lost their popularity or emotional power. Even before they joined forces\, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II had written dozens of Broadway shows\, but together they pioneered a new art form: the serious musical play. Their songs and dance numbers served to advance the drama and reveal character\, a sharp break from the past and the template on which all future musicals would be built. \nThough different in personality and often emotionally distant from each other\, Rodgers and Hammerstein presented an unbroken front to the world and forged much more than a songwriting team; their partnership was also one of the most profitable and powerful entertainment businesses of their era. They were cultural powerhouses whose work came to define postwar America on stage\, screen\, television\, and radio. But they also had their failures and flops\, and more than once they feared they had lost their touch. \nTodd S. Purdum is the author of “An Idea Whose Time Has Come” and “A Time of Our Choosing.” He is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair and a senior writer at Politico\, having previously worked at The New York Times for more than twenty years\, where he served as White House correspondent\, diplomatic correspondent\, and Los Angeles bureau chief.

SUMMARY:Meet Hendrik Meijer
DESCRIPTION:Author of “Arthur Vandenberg: The Man in the Middle of the American Century”\n7PM Lecture\, Audience Q&A and Book Signing \nThe idea that a Senator—Republican or Democrat—would put the greater good of the country ahead of party seems nearly impossible to imagine in our current climate of gridlock and divisiveness. But this hasn’t always been the case. Arthur H. Vandenberg (1884–1951)\, Republican from Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, was the model of a consensus builder\, and the coalitions he spearheaded continue to form the foundation of American foreign and domestic policy today. Edward R. Murrow called him “the central pivot of the entire era\,” yet\, despite his significance\, Vandenberg has never received the full public attention he is due—until now. With this authoritative biography\, Hendrik Meijer reveals how Vandenberg built and nurtured the bipartisan consensus that created the American Century. \nHendrik Meijer worked as a reporter and editor before joining Meijer\, Inc.\, where he is executive chairman. He is the author of a biography of his grandfather\, “Thrifty Years: The Life of Hendrik Meijer” and is the executive producer of the documentary\, “America’s Senator: The Unexpected Odyssey of Arthur Vandenberg.” \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Meet Frank Lavin
DESCRIPTION:Author of “Home Front to Battlefront: An Ohio Teenage in World War II”\n7PM Lecture\, Audience Q&A and Book Signing \n“Home Front to Battlefront” is a World War II history told through the story of combat infantryman Carl Lavin\, based on official military histories\, conventional history sources\, personal letters of the time and taped recollections. \nCarl’s story begins as a high school senior on Pearl Harbor Day. It is a world of a small city in the Midwest\, where life is still in the middle of the Great Depression\, and filled with weekend pickup football games\, community dances\, and the occasional date. Carl signs up when he turns 18 and has assignments across the U.S. and the U.K. The core of the book is combat in the Battle of the Bulge\, the Battle of the Roer\, and the Battle of the Rhine. The final chapters are about the occupation in Germany and the return home to the United States. \nIt is the story of ordinary Americans\, thrust into a harsh and dangerous world\, where G.I.’s grapple with the horrors of combat\, the idiocies of bureaucracy\, and the oddities of life back home – all in the same day. It displays the best and the lowest of the human experience\, including examples of heroism\, compassion\, and sacrifice along with cowardice\, pettiness\, and plain foolishness. It is the war-time juxtaposition of the trite and horrific; the banal and bizarre that gives this narrative emotional impact. \nFrank Lavin is the CEO and founder of Export Now\, a U.S. firm that operates e-commerce stores in China for international brands. He served as under secretary for international trade at the U.S. Department of Commerce\, U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Singapore\, director of White House Political Affairs\, and in positions at the Department of Commerce\, Department of State\, and the National Security Council. In the private sector\, Lavin served in senior finance and management positions in Hong Kong and Singapore with Edelman\, Bank of America and Citibank. He is a columnist for Forbes.com\, and co-author of “Export Now: Five Keys to Entering New Markets.”\n\nRegister Now\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite
