The Best & Worst: 250 Years of American Foreign Policy with James Lindsay

For 250 years, U.S. foreign policy decisions have shaped the course of history—often debated not only in government halls but in the taverns, inns, and meeting places where early Americans gathered to exchange ideas. From the Marshall Plan to the Louisiana Purchase, these decisions helped define the nation’s role in the world.

On April 7, join Dr. James M. Lindsay, Distinguished Senior Fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations, as he unveils his definitive rankings of the best and worst U.S. foreign policy decisions over the past 250 years.
