Meet Walter Russell Mead, professor, columnist, and foreign policy grand strategist, at the Nixon Library. Mead is the author of The Arc of a Covenant, a provocative, bold look at how the American-Israeli relationship affects contemporary politics, and how it will influence the future of American life.

Mead is the James Clark Chace Professor of Foreign Affairs and Humanities at Bard College, Ravenel B. Curry III Distinguished Fellow in Strategy and Statesmanship at Hudson Institute, and the Global View columnist at The Wall Street Journal. He served as the Henry A. Kissinger Senior Fellow in American Foreign Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations and as a Brady-Johnson Fellow in Grand Strategy at Yale University.
