You are invited to a conversation with the bestselling author and "The Atlantic" staff writer David Frum at the President Woodrow Wilson House. Following the publication of his newest article, "In Defense of Woodrow Wilson," Frum will be speaking about his inspiration to write this piece. This February marks the centennial of Woodrow Wilson's death.

Sit down with this noted political commentator to hear his perspective on both the 28th president's legacy and the current narrative surrounding Woodrow Wilson. The conversation and Q&A will be moderated by Ambassador Joel Danies, a member of Wilson House's Advisory Council.

David Frum is the author of ten books, most recently "TRUMPOCALYPSE: Restoring American Democracy" (HarperCollins, 2020). His first book, "Dead Right," won praise from William F. Buckley as “the most refreshing intellectual experience in a generation” and from Frank Rich in the "New York Times" as “the smartest book written from the inside about the American conservative movement.” In "National Review," John Podhoretz hailed Frum’s history of the 1970s, "How We Got Here," as “an audacious act of revisionism, written in a voice and style so original it deserves to be called revolutionary.” In her review of Frum's 2012 novel, "Patriots," Arianna Huffington said “David Frum is someone who fearlessly speaks his mind, regardless of where the chips may fall, so it’s no surprise he’s able to convey so much truth in his fiction.” Frum’s memoir of his service in the George W. Bush administration, "The Right Man," was a "New York Times" bestseller, as was his 2018 book, "Trumpocracy: The Corruption of the American Republic."

David Frum has been active in Republican politics since the first Reagan campaign of 1980. From 2014 through 2017, Frum served as chairman of the board of trustees of the leading UK center-right think tank, Policy Exchange. From 2001-2002, he served as speechwriter and special assistant to President George W. Bush.

David Frum holds a BA and MA in history from Yale and a law degree from Harvard, where he served as President of the Federalist Society.
