Susan and John Klein Book Series featuring John Lechner
Join us for an evening discussion with John Lechner, where he will share insights from his groundbreaking book Death Is Our Business: Russian Mercenaries and the New Era of Private Warfare, offering an in-depth look at the Wagner Group’s rise, its operations across conflict zones, and its transformation from a covert Russian military force into a powerful global actor reshaping geopolitics and business. David Sanger, White House and National Security Correspondent for The New York Times, will moderate the conversation.
