Join an introduction to the remarkable career and even more remarkable strategic vision of Homer Lea. He was barred from joining the U.S. Army due to a physical disability. Homer Lea lent his energy and brainpower to Sun Yat-sen in overthrowing the Manchu Dynasty in China in 1911, only a year before his early death. Beyond playing this dramatic role in history, Homer Lea wrote books of strategy that foresaw with fantastic accuracy the military moves Japan would make decades later to achieve mastery of the Asia-Pacific region.
Chase Untermeyer, former United States Ambassador to Qatar and Assistant Secretary of the Navy, will talk about Homer Lea. Adair Margo will also speak about the interactions of Tom and Sarah Lea with Lady Bird Johnson and LBJ.
The event is co-hosted with Humanities Texas and the Tom Lea Institute.
