SUMMARY:Lessons from the Edge: Ukraine in Crisis | A Luncheon Event
DESCRIPTION:Reflecting on the events that led to her removal as U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine in 2019\, Marie “Masha” Yovanovitch has a stark but hopeful story to tell of the dedication of foreign service officers and her own career. Moving up through the ranks of the State Department\, Yovanovitch leveraged her intelligence and work ethic to arrive at the post of Ambassador to Ukraine in 2016. Her endeavors to encourage democracy\, support anti-corruption efforts\, and advance U.S. interests and values in Ukraine no doubt left a lasting impression that continues to inform the policies of a country now under direct military attack. Please join us for a special luncheon and book signing event with the ambassador. \nBooks will be available at the event for purchase through a partnership with Visible Voice Books. Please consider pre-ordering your book as 15% of proceeds from pre-sales will be donated to Cleveland Council on World Affairs. To order your book in advance\, please click here.  \n—

SUMMARY:The Bin Laden Papers: Exposing the U.S. Misunderstanding of Terrorism
DESCRIPTION:Registration is closed for this event. \n  \nIn early May 2011\, U.S. Special Operations Forces raided Usama Bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad\, Pakistan\, where he was hiding and ended his leadership of al-Qaeda\, the terrorist group responsible for the 9/11 attacks. How accurate were U.S. assessments of al-Qaeda’s capabilities and its leader’s plans?  A national expert on al-Qaeda\, Dr. Lahoud distilled the nearly 6\,000 Arabic pages of Bin Laden’s private communications that were retrieved during the Abbottabad raid. Her book\, The Bin Laden Papers: How the Abbottabad Raid Revealed the Truth about Al-Qaeda\, Its Leader and His Family\, shows a disparity between the U.S. assessment of al-Qaeda and the actual reality of the group and its leader. Her findings further highlight the ongoing challenge that the U.S. national security apparatus grapples with: How can we gain an understanding of terrorism to counter it effectively? \nThe Bin Laden Papers will be available for purchase\, and at the conclusion of the program\, Dr. Lahoud will hold a brief book signing. You can watch Dr. Lahoud discuss her findings on 60 Minutes here. \nBorn in Beirut\, Lebanon\, Nelly Lahoud’s research interest in the Islamic tradition led her to focus on the ideology and evolution of al-Qaeda and the ‘Islamic State’ (ISIS/ISIL). She is currently an associate professor in the Department of National Security and Strategy at the U.S. Army War College and a senior fellow in New America’s International Security program. She has a Ph.D. from the Research School of Social Sciences — Australian National University. She was a postdoctoral scholar at St. John’s College\, University of Cambridge — UK; Rockefeller Fellow in Islamic studies at the Library of Congress; and research fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs\, Harvard University. Her previous appointments include being associate professor at the Department of Social Sciences and senior associate at the Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point; and assistant professor of political theory at Goucher College.
