SUMMARY:The Best & Worst: 250 Years of American Foreign Policy with James Lindsay
DESCRIPTION:For 250 years\, U.S. foreign policy decisions have shaped the course of history—often debated not only in government halls but in the taverns\, inns\, and meeting places where early Americans gathered to exchange ideas. From the Marshall Plan to the Louisiana Purchase\, these decisions helped define the nation’s role in the world. \nOn April 7\, join Dr. James M. Lindsay\, Distinguished Senior Fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations\, as he unveils his definitive rankings of the best and worst U.S. foreign policy decisions over the past 250 years. \nThe World Affairs Council of Connecticut and the Fairfield Museum invite you to join in this exclusive\, thought-provoking conversation you won’t want to miss. This event is sure to sell out fast – RSVP today to secure your seat. \nDetails\nTuesday\, April 7\, 2026 | 6:00pm – 7:30pm\nFairfield Museum & History Center\, 370 Beach Rd\, Fairfield\, CT 06824\nTickets: $10 Members\, $15 Non-Members\nSpace is limited and tickets are first-come-first-serve. \nReserve your spot today \n\n\n \n\nWith Special Guest\n \nJames M.
