The Hillsdale Interview: John Burtka
Download MP3John Burtka, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, joins WRFH to discuss his new book, "Gateway to Statesmanship: Selections from Xenophon to Churchill." With many in the country asking "What to do?" about unreliable leaders, Burtka compiled excerpts from the writings of influential statesmen to help redirect the future thinkers and leaders of the country. As a Hillsdale alumnus, he talks about how his education influenced the book, how to think about statesmen who made morally questionable decisions by today's standards, and what makes a statesman "great."
