I beg to differ. I find Sir Max's lectures as engrossing as his books. Indeed, his lectures serve as an excellent addendum to them. Plus, they're free.
Superb talk by Sir Max - having read his book, I recognised that his talk could only be a summary and I recommend his book unreservedly, including for his mature reflections on the broader lessons about leadership and the relatively cosmopolitan outlook of President Kennedy (for all his imperfections). As Sir Max says, it is unlikely that most subsequent Presidents would have resolved the crisis as successfully. I agree also with his answers to the excellent questions from the audience. Thank you very much for sharing this.

Hastings writes much better than he speaks. He offers considerable wisdom about our contemporary situation.
