On 5 August 2024, the United States Studies Centre (USSC) hosted New York Times correspondent David E. Sanger for a discussion with USSC CEO Dr Michael Green about his latest book, New Cold Wars: China’s Rise, Russia’s Invasion, and America’s Struggle to Defend the West.

The book explores how the West failed to anticipate the tectonic geopolitical shifts that define our modern era.

The event was also broadcast on ABC Radio's Big Ideas program.
