About the Author
Max Boot is a renowned historian, foreign policy analyst, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author whose incisive commentary has shaped contemporary debates on American conservatism and international affairs. Born in Moscow and raised in Los Angeles, Boot graduated from Yale University and began his career as a journalist, contributing to outlets like The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post. Over the years, he has transitioned from staunch Republican advocate to a vocal critic of the party's rightward drift, particularly under the influence of Donald Trump. His work explores the erosion of traditional conservative principles, blending rigorous historical analysis with personal memoir. Boot serves as the Jeane J. Kirkpatrick Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and is a regular contributor to Foreign Policy magazine, where he champions neoconservative ideals of democracy promotion and robust U.S. global engagement.
