The Singaraja Literary Festival, in collaboration with Yayasan Mahima Indonesia, is set to host an insightful book launch for “Commanders in Crisis: The Psychological Battles of American Presidents” by Joseph Collins. The event will take place on Friday, July 25th, 2025, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM WITA, at Gedong Kirtya.
A highlight of this anticipated event is the presence of Prof. Dr. Iga Lokita Purnamika Utami, who will serve as the moderator. While her role is listed as “Book Reviewer” on the promotional material, she will be guiding the discussion as the moderator for this significant literary event. Prof. Utami’s expertise will ensure a stimulating conversation surrounding Collins’ exploration of the psychological pressures faced by American presidents throughout history.
Joseph Collins, the author, will be present to discuss his work, which delves into the mental fortitude and emotional challenges that have shaped the decisions of US commanders-in-chief. Attendees will have the opportunity to gain deeper insights into the often-overlooked human element of leadership during times of crisis.
This book launch promises to be a thought-provoking session for history enthusiasts, political science scholars, and anyone interested in the complexities of leadership. Tickets for the event can be obtained by scanning the QR code provided on the promotional poster.
