Members-Only Reception
Join International Spy Museum Executive Director Chris Costa in conversation with Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster (US Army, Ret.) former National Security Advisor. McMaster has recently written At War with Ourselves: My Tour of Duty in the Trump White House. The book is a riveting account of McMaster’s 13 months in this position and his own assessment of how he did.
Costa, a past special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism on the National Security Council during the Trump administration, and McMaster will discuss the General’s tenure as National Security Advisor and the challenges of maintaining focus on the mission despite external and internal pressures. He’ll share how he drew on his background to help drive shifts in US foreign policy at a critical point in history. A graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, McMaster served as a US Army officer for 34 years and retired as a lieutenant general in 2018. He remained on active duty while serving as the National Security Advisor. His service and education—he holds a PhD in history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill—have informed his leadership in both the government and the military. The response to his newest book has been so positive that he can now also note that he is the author of three bestsellers.
Following their conversation, the audience will have a chance to ask their own questions.
