Ben Judge – America’s Foreign Adversaries: What would John Quincy Adams Do?

Our guest is Ben Judge, managing director of Monument Valley, a firm focused on adapting academic research for popular audiences. Ben is also the creator and executive producer of the documentary Right Makes Might: The Lincoln-Douglas Debates. We chat with Ben about his new book United and Independent: John Quincy Adams and American Foreign Policy. The father of early American foreign policy, we ask Ben whether there are lessons to be learned from Adams’ foreign policy doctrine and if they can be applied to the foreign policy challenges we face today.
