Strategic Demands of the 21st Century: A New Vision for a New World

by Roger Morris and Steven Schmidt

Roger Morris is the author of several critically acclaimed books on American politics, including Richard Milhous Nixon: The Rise of an American Politician, 1913-1952, winner of the National Book Award Silver Medal, finalist for the National Critics Circle Award in Biography, and a New York Times "Notable Book of the Year," and Partners in Power: The Clintons and Their America, a highly-praised and instant best-seller on the New York Times and other lists as well as another Times “Notable Book.”

He is completing Between the Graves—based on thousands of previously secret documents, a history of US-Afghan relations and American policy and covert intervention in South Asia and the Middle East over the past half century. He is also at work for Knopf on Kindred Rivals: America, Russia and Their Failed Ideals, a comparative history of the inner politics of the United States and Soviet Russia, and a major reinterpretation of their competition and its impact on the 21st-century.

Roger Morris entered government service as an aide to former US Secretary of State Dean Acheson. Morris became a National Security Council senior staff member during the Johnson and was initially asked to continue his service by Richard Nixon, focusing on peace negotiations for Vietnam. Richard Nixon and National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger had his phones tapped during this period. Morris resigned his position in protest in 1970 following the secret invasion of Cambodia.

Morris' books include biographies of Kissinger and:

Steven Schmidt first became involved in security issues and politics as a young man who was asked to assist George E. Brown in his campaign for Congress as a representative from East Los Angeles. Their relationship, shared environmental concerns, and debate over nuclear proliferation, was to last for over 35 years as the Congressman mentored and Steve joined and assisted in many environmental and science-based initiatives that comprised the beginning of the modern environmental movement. The Congressman went on to chair the US House of Representatives Science Committee and his achievements, that Steve was fortunate to participate in as a confident, included becoming the California Congressman becoming key to the establishment of the EPA and writing the legislation that set up the first federal program to study global climate change. Brown was instrumental in establishing the Landsat earth imaging/science program (and making its results available open access to the public), in many way beginning baseline earth science research from space (in 2017, Landsat will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary.)

During the 1990's, in many roles that involved the New Mexico national labs at Los Alamos and Sandia, Schmidt continued his dialogue with the Congressman and public interest groups on issues of future lab policies in which the Congressman was directly involved. This was the culmination of over thirty years of public policy discussions and shared vision between Schmidt and Congressman Brown.

Schmidt began his own public interest work while attending the University of Southern California on academic scholarship. He won the Justin Dart Award, accompanying full-fellowship and graduated with honors.

During this period in the 60's/70's he came to know and work with Congressman Allard Lowenstein and in DC was involved with the establishment of the Vietnam Moratorium Committee. He went on to become a director of California's Vietnam Moratorium peace efforts as part of the nation's largest anti-war group.

He traveled widely in the US and Europe, speaking and writing to reset American foreign policy. During this period Schmidt assisted two notable figures: Dan Ellsberg, whom he came to know well as the results of Robert McNamara's commissioned history of the war (later to be called the "Pentagon Papers") was being completed by Ellsberg at the Rand Institute; and in Washington DC he assisted Dispatch News Service in the release of Seymour Hersh's war-changing series of investigative news reports (that came to be called the "My Lai" story.)

Schmidt attended graduate school in New York in the History of Ideas at the Graduate Faculty of the New School as he entered the publishing industry with Faculty Press and BookLab (Harcourt). He has written and worked widely on environmental and political issues over several decades, including with Governor Jerry Brown, acting as an advisor in the drafting of the 1992 presidential campaign platform and later becoming the key drafter of the founding platform (2000) of the Green Party of the US. Schmidt is, as described by Wikipedia, a "media entrepreneur" and his creative work ranges from the Writers Guild (WGAw) to recent multiple websites, including recently Strategic Demands.com.
