It is with great sadness this Memorial Day weekend that we report that Zbigniew Brzezinski has passed away.

Dr. Brzezinski was a founding editorial board member of The American Interest and a counselor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He was the National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter from 1977-81. He was also a friend of the podcast, having appeared on the program to talk with host Richard Aldous twice—once in February 2015 and, most recently, in May of last year.

During that last appearance, he discussed the ongoing realignment of global power in the 21st century. Have another listen to that conversation with one of America’s most important foreign policy thinkers and practitioners.
