David Nasaw Speaking Topics

A Fool for Peace

Andrew Carnegie is known for many things: for his philanthropy, his libraries, and as the richest man in the world after he sold Carnegie Steel to J.P. Morgan. But what is too little known is his peacekeeping efforts, in particular, his attempt to stop the Great War before it broke out, by enlisting Theodore Roosevelt as his emissary to Europe’s heads of states.

The War did not End for the Holocaust Survivors or their Tormentors

Congress did everything it could after World War II to keep out Holocaust survivors while visas were made available for war criminals who entered the U.S., disguised as "displaced persons" in the thousands in the late 1940s.

William Randolph Hearst: The First Media Mogul

William Randolph Hearst invented the modern media mogul for using his money, his savvy, his political connections, and his reputation to expand his empire from newspapers in every large American city to magazines, films, newsreels, and radio.

Joseph P. Kennedy, Founder of a 20th Century Political Dynasty.

Joseph Kennedy made a fortune so that his children could go into public service, which they did. His money, connections, and knowledge of how the political world worked--and could be worked--made possible the creation of the nation's most influential political dynasty.
