A PRI Dinner with Lord Roberts of Belgravia

Assessing the UK Election, Europe's Conservative Wave, and the Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to Ukraine

Friday, August 2 • The California Club • Los Angeles, California

Acclaimed historian and award-winning author Lord Roberts of Belgravia joins us with his assessment of the UK general election and the future of the UK Conservative Party, greater Europe's shift to the right, and his latest New York Times bestselling book, Conflict: The Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to Ukraine (October 2023).

Conflict, co-authored with General David Petraeus, former commander of the US-led coalition in both Iraq and Afghanistan and former Director of the CIA, identifies what were the lessons that Putin ought to have learned, and explains how not putting them into practice has led to profound strategic and tactical problems in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The book explores over 70 years of conflict, drawing significant lessons and insights from their fresh analysis of the past. Copies of Conflict will be available for purchase at the dinner and are complimentary for dinner sponsors.
