Andrew Bacevich is known as an authority on American foreign policy and is the author of several books on the subject including The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism. He confronts fundamental questions that Americans have been avoiding since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. Dr. Bacevich is able to place current politics in historical context, enlivening the current debate, and turning eyes toward the best path for the future of America and the world.

                      Underwritten by the William and Salomé Scanlan Foundation, the Maverick Lecture is an
                      annual lecture that honors the late Maury Maverick Jr., the legendary civil rights
                      lawyer, former member of the Texas Legislature, and iconoclastic newspaper
                      columnist. The lecture series explores topics that defined Maverick’s place in American
                      civic discourse.
