SUMMARY:In Conversation with Julia Ioffe @ The Dreamland Theater
DESCRIPTION:In this Wavemaker Conversation with Michael Schulder\, journalist Julia Ioffe reveals little-known aspects of Putin’s life and rule that are of great consequence. The conversation also covers Julia’s insights on US-Russia relations\, national security\, and her personal journey\, which began as a child in Russia before the collapse of the Soviet Union.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Julia Ioffe: \n\n\n\n34 years ago\, Julia Ioffe and her family arrived in the U.S. as refugees from the former Soviet Union\, having fled their homeland upon rumors of a planned pogrom against the Jews of Moscow. Julia was only seven.   \n\n\n\nToday\, Julia Ioffe\, the refugee –- a happy American accident\, as she has called her life — has become a go-to journalist for her singular insights on Vladimir Putin and Russia\, and her reporting on the war in Ukraine\, the Middle East\, U.S. national security and domestic politics. \n\n\n\nWhen Russia invaded Ukraine\, PBS’s Frontline turned to Ioffe as a central voice in its documentary Putin’s Road To War. So did Late Night with Stephen Colbert.  \n\n\n\nIoffe graduated from Princeton\, and later received a Fulbright Scholarship to return to Russia\, where she worked as a Moscow correspondent for Foreign Policy magazine and The New Yorker and\, among other things\, introduced American readers to a young Russian opposition figure she had gotten to know well — Alexey Navalny. Back in the U.S.\, she became a senior editor at The New Republic\, and a featured reporter at The Atlantic. In 2021\, she joined the new platform Puck.news as a founding partner and Washington correspondent.

SUMMARY:In Conversation with Graeme Wood @ The Dreamland Theater
DESCRIPTION:In this wide-ranging conversation with Wavemaker’s Michael Schulder\, journalist Graeme Wood\, of The Atlantic\, shares surprisingly revealing stories from his recent meetings with MBS — the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. He tells us what he has learned post October 7th in his reporting from the Gaza border\, the West Bank\, and throughout Israel\, as well as from earlier reporting journeys in Iran.  And we probe his uniquely insightful takes on the political and cultural issues dominating the American conversation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Graeme Wood: \n\n\n\nGraeme Wood is a journalist with a breathtaking range and depth of reporting and analysis on the most consequential issues of our time. His work at is an exhilarating antidote to the often-entrenched narratives of daily news cycles. \n\n\n\nBefore he was hired as a correspondent by The Atlantic in 2006\, Wood satisfied his thirst for travel by becoming a courier and bootlegger in northern Iraq and hiking around Afghanistan and the tribal areas of Pakistan during a particularly violent period.  \n\n\n\nFluent in Arabic\, Wood’s book: The Way of the Stranger: Encounters with the Islamic State\, is based on his deep immersion in Islam and his meetings with the “seducers” of ISIS.  \n\n\n\nAmong other honors\, Wood has received fellowships from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Center for the Prevention of Genocide and he led Nazi-hunting expeditions to Paraguay for the History Channel.  \n\n\n\nIn addition to writing for The Atlantic\, he teaches at Yale University and is a life member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

SUMMARY:In Conversation with Sebastian Junger @ The Nantucket Book Festival
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes you read a great book and recommend it to others. \n\n\n\nOn rare occasions\, one great book leads you to read another book by the same author\, and another\, and another . . . . \n\n\n\nThat is the case for me with Sebastian Junger. \n\n\n\nI’d personally recommend starting with War\, published in 2010\, based on Junger’s multiple journeys embedded with a U.S. Army platoon in one of the most remote and dangerous outposts in Afghanistan. Then I recommend watching Restrepo\, the accompanying documentary he and his journalistic partner\, Tim Hetherington\, created during those embeds. It is an unforgettably immersive experience — one of the most highly acclaimed war documentaries ever made. \n\n\n\nOr you could begin in 2016 with Tribe\, a deeply reported and philosophical reflection on what gives human beings meaning and purpose in life. It includes Junger’s well-researched and\, what you may consider\, counterintuitive insights on PTSD. \n\n\n\nYou could also begin\, where most readers who know Junger’s work began\, with The Perfect Storm\, the riveting 1997 best seller that put Junger on the map. The Perfect Storm is a masterfully reported story of a commercial swordfishing boat that gets caught in a once-in-a-hundred-year storm\, facing hundred mile an hour winds and waves up to a hundred feet high. \n\n\n\nHis latest book does not involve a dangerous journey but enabled him to share his hard-earned insights on the meaning of the book’s title: Freedom. Junger never tells us what to think in any of his books. In this case\, he inspires us to do our own hard thinking about what our obligations are\, as individuals\, in a free society. \n\n\n\nIt was while writing Freedom at home in Cape Cod\, after several decades of high-risk assignments as a war reporter in Bosnia\, Sierra Leone\, Afghanistan and elsewhere\, that Sebastian Junger had his closest call with death\, barely surviving a ruptured aneurism\, causing him to quickly lose more than half of his blood. This traumatizing\, near-death experience happened at a time when he had the most to lose. Because at that time\, as he was approaching the age of 60\, Junger had recently become a parent. Fatherhood has reshaped his own understanding of his body of work – and of his future. \n\n\n\nOne more thing. \n\n\n\nIf you’re still not sure where to begin with Sebastian Junger’s work\, I recommend starting with our wide-ranging conversation from June 2023 at the Nantucket Book Festival by clicking the Play icon at the top of this story.
