Historian and LA Times columnist Max Boot visits Zócalo to discuss how innovations in weaponry and tactics have not only transformed how wars are fought and won but also have guided the course of human events, from the formation of the first modern states 500 years ago, to the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the coming of al-Qaeda. The award-winning author of The Savage Wars of Peace, and the recently published War Made New, Boot will put forth a new intellectual framework for understanding contemporary geopolitics as well as examine what America must do to survive and prevail in the Information Age.
