About this event

Author Robert (Bob) Blaemire will share what he considers to
be 15 pivotal, strategic missteps by various U.S. figures
(extending from John Adams to John McCain) and how these
decisions significantly altered the course of the nation. All
this and more are addressed in his new book, Unforced Errors
(Austin Macauley Publishers LLC, September 2025), which will
be available for sale and signing.Bob is an FHNN member and volunteer. A popular and entertaining presenter, he has
been an active participant in politics all his adult life. Bob also authored a biography of
former Senator Birch Bayh, entitled Birch Bayh: Making A Difference (Indiana University
Press, 2019). Bob worked for Bayh for 13 years and was his life-long friend.
After his presentation, there will be time for questions. Join us as Bob offers what Kirkus
Reviews calls "A thought-provoking examination of key mistakes in U.S. history."
