Après-Midi Recap

David Andelman – June 2022

David Andelman

A Red Line in the Sand, by David A AndelmanIt’s quite a coup to have David Andelman speak at Après-Midi, but my relationship with him goes back about 20 years when he married an old friend of mine from New Orleans whom I’ve known since we were tykes. It was tough to decide what he should speak about, since he’s prolific in just about any current events topic, but we chose to offer up commentary about his latest book, A Red Line in the Sand…and what Red Lines mean in history and today’s world—particularly those being drawn by Russia and the Ukraine at the moment.

You will find this session fascinating and enlightening because David’s knowledge is deeper than any ocean. The session was recorded so you have this special opportunity to watch it for yourself—1 hour and 17 minutes of his fascinating talk! Just click here.
