VIRTUAL: An Evening with Philip Zelikow, Author of The Road Less Traveled: The Secret Battle to End the Great War, 1916-1917
<div>Hudson Library & Historical Society</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Tuesday, Mar. 23, 7 p.m. or call (330) 653-6658.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On Tuesday, March 23 at 7 p.m. the Hudson Library & Historical Society will host a live virtual streaming event with Philip Zelikow, author of The Road Less Traveled: The Secret Battle to End the Great War, 1916-1917. Publishers Weekly calls this book
“Deeply researched and scathingly critical of the war’s foremost political figures” and states “this history offers an intriguing look at what might have been.”</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Two years into World War I, the German Chancellor sought President Woodrow Wilson’s mediation to end the war, just as British ministers and France’s president also concluded that the time was right. The Road Less Traveled describes how tantalizingly close
these far-sighted statesmen came to ending the war, saving millions of lives, and avoiding the total war that dimmed hopes for a better world. Theirs was a secret battle that is only now becoming fully understood, a story of civic courage, awful responsibility,
and how some leaders rose to the occasion while others shrank from it or chased other ambitions. A Kirkus starred review states, “Zelikow shines fresh light on a major historical crossroads…Outstanding revisionist history demonstrating what could have been
a far more peaceful 20th century.” </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Zelikow is the White Burkett Miller Professor of History and J. Wilson Newman Professor of Governance at the Miller Center of Public Affairs, both at the University of Virginia. A former career diplomat, he was the executive director of the 9/11 Commission.
He worked on international policy in each of the five administrations from Reagan through Obama.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Copies of The Road Less Traveled will be available for purchase courtesy of the Learned Owl Book Shop. Registration for this program is required and a valid email address is required at time of registration. Participants will receive an email invitation
to attend the program, hosted on Zoom, a day before the program begins. </div>
