  • Description
    Join Dr. Mohsen Milani and General McKenzie as they engage in a discussion about his new book, The Melting Point: High Command and War in the 21st Century. . . . . As Commander, U.S. Central Command, General Frank McKenzie oversaw some of the most important – and controversial – operations in modern U.S. military history. The Melting Point  is a first-person perspective on his time in command. Woven throughout the stark, compelling narrative are three themes. The first is the importance of civilian control of the military. The second is the uniqueness of being a combatant commander, existing at the nexus of policy, strategy, and, ultimately, operations. The third theme is the importance of leaders and the decisions that they make. This book offers a vivid portrait of leadership in action in one of the most volatile regions of the world. . .   . . Following the conversation, General McKenzie will host a book signing session.
