From Nixon’s secret Cold War gambit to Trump’s chaotic\, tweet-driven diplomacy\, Boys argues that these two leaders weaponised unpredictability to keep allies guessing and enemies off balance. Where does strategy end and madness begin? In an era where perception can dictate power\, unpredictability becomes a weapon and fear its sharpest edge. This is an essential event for anyone wanting to understand U.S. politics under Trump. \n  \n \nDr John Hemmings \nDirector for the National Security Centre at the Henry Jackson Society \n  \n \nDr James D.

This event celebrates the release of his latest book\, “Antisemitism: What Everyone Needs to Know.” \n  \nThis event provides a unique opportunity to engage with one of the most influential voices in contemporary Jewish and global affairs. Our Director of Research\, Michael McManus\, will dive into Harris’ decades of leadership to present a clear-cut exploration of antisemitism\, its history\, and why it is a critical issue for global society. \n  \nHarris is the Executive Vice Chair of the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy\, previously serving as CEO of the American Jewish Committee (AJC) from 1990 to 2022. He was referred to by the late Israeli President and Nobel Laureate\, Shimon Peres\, as “the foreign minister of the Jewish people.” \n  \nIn this timely conversation\, Harris will reflect on the themes of his book\, connect them to current global challenges\, and offer practical insights into confronting hatred and protecting democratic values. Grounded\, informed\, and deeply personal\, this event promises a thoughtful and compelling discussion for anyone seeking to better understand antisemitism today and the responsibilities it places on all of us who believe in freedom and fairness. \n  \n \nDavid Harris \nAuthor\, Antisemitism: What Everyone Needs to Know & Executive Vice Chair\, Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism. \n  \n \nMichael McManus \nDirector of Research\nThe Henry Jackson Society URL:https://henryjacksonsociety.org/event/antisemitism/ LOCATION:Millbank Tower\, 21-24 Millbank\, London\, England\, SW1P 4QP\, 21-24 Millbank\, Westminster\, SW1P 4QP\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://henryjacksonsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/FFDFCTR.png ORGANIZER;CN="Henry Jackson Society":MAILTO:rsvp@henryjacksonsociety.org GEO:51.492356;-0.125933 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Millbank Tower 21-24 Millbank London England SW1P 4QP 21-24 Millbank Westminster SW1P 4QP United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=21-24 Millbank:geo:-0.125933,51.492356 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20251021T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20251021T193000 DTSTAMP:20260608T041015 CREATED:20251014T102602Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251014T103952Z UID:10002147-1761069600-1761075000@henryjacksonsociety.org SUMMARY:The New Total War: Book Launch with Dr Bob Seely MBE DESCRIPTION:Please note this event will be online and in person. \n\n\nTo register for the Zoom session\, please CLICK HERE. \n\n\nTo register for in person attendance fill in the ticket form below. \nJoin us for the launch of The New Total War by Dr Bob Seely MBE\, a gripping and timely exploration of how the Kremlin wages war in the 21st century on the battlefield\, in cyberspace\, and in our politics\, media\, economy and culture. \nThis high-level panel event will bring together leading thinkers\, policymakers\, and security practitioners for a dynamic discussion on the evolving nature of conflict and what it means for Britain and the West.

They are different in scale and setting. One is a state-on-state war of national survival in Europe\, the other is an asymmetric fight between a state and a non-state actor in the Middle East. However\, both conflicts clearly highlight the future of warfare. \nTogether\, they demonstrate a battlespace shaped by widespread drone warfare\, real-time battlefield innovations\, the weaponisation of information and the ongoing breakdown of the post-1945 rules-based order. They also emphasise the limitations of dependence on the United States and NATO\, the vulnerabilities of high-cost procurement cycles and the dangers when adversaries exploit Western adherence to the laws of armed conflict. \nJoin Major (Ret.) Andrew Fox\, Shadow Defence Secretary James Cartlidge MP and Dr Stuart Mitchell as they discuss what the wars in Ukraine and Gaza teach us about the future of warfare in the 21st century. \n\n \n \n \nMajor (Ret.)
