Details | Professor Frank Cogliano, Dean International, North America, and Professor of American History at the University of Edinburgh, will be our after-dinner speaker. Professor Cogliano will introduce us to his hew book, A Revolutionary Friendship: Washington, Jefferson, and the American Republic, and provide us with insights into the lives of two of the most prominent Presidents of the US, their relationship, and their contributions to the building of the American republic. The subject could not be more topical. With the style of leadership of the US having been upended, and the significance of the constitution in question, the talk should help us to regain some perspective on the shaping of the office of the president of what has become the world’s most powerful country. |
