Sam Roggeveen in conversation with Peter Hartcher

With the global power balance shifting, Australia will need to defend itself without American help. In his new book The Echidna Strategy, Sam Roggeveen – director of the Lowy Institute’s International Security Program – overturns the conventional wisdom about Australia’s security.

On Tuesday 19 September at The Royal Oak, join Roggeveen in conversation with the award-winning political and international editor of The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, Peter Hartcher.

Copies of The Echidna Strategy (out 29 August with Black Inc Books) will be available for purchase at the venue through Roaring Stories, with Roggeveen signing copies after the discussion.
