The Transformational Decade

A book discussion with Herbert London

Tuesday, June 5

12:00 - 1:30 PM

In The Transformational Decade: Snapshots of a Decade from 9/11 to the Obama Presidency (Rowman & Littlefield), Hudson President Emeritus shows the transformation that took place from the attack on the World Trade Center to the start of the Obama presidency. London offers an insightful view of a tumultuous decade that has fundamentally altered our society and the world.

The latest in a series of "decade" books from London—including The Overheated Decade, The Counterfeit Decade, and The Decade of Denial—this new work illuminates a time that he considers to be a new and more frightful period than any in recent American history.

Hudson Institute's President Emeritus Herbert London, the noted social critic, author of more than twenty books, and frequent media commentator, discussed his new book.  

Acclaimed historian and author Gertrude Himmelfarb provided introductory remarks. John Fonte, Hudson Institute Senior Fellow and Director of the Center for American Common Culture provided a response.
