Please join CSIS on Tuesday, March 17, at 11:00 a.m. ET for a conversation with Admiral William J. Fallon (ret.) about his new memoir,  Decisions, Discord & Diplomacy: From Cairo to Kabul. The book chronicles his career in leadership, from Cold War operations to serving as Vice Chief of Naval Operations during 9/11, commanding U.S. Pacific Command, and ultimately leading U.S. Central Command.  

Dr. John J. Hamre, CSIS president and CEO, will host the discussion which will focus on critical lessons from America’s post-9/11 wars that remain urgently relevant today, including the complex intersection of military leadership, political oversight, and media influence; how competing institutional agendas can undermine strategic thinking; and the bureaucratic challenges of managing multiple wars at once.
