International Affairs Speaker

“... Clear, fact-based and persuasive discussion and analysis of international relations. Jim Armstead's comprehensive knowledge, his professional experience, and his committed American patriotism provide both foundation and frame for his discourse on our urgent contemporary issues.”

Philip F. O'Mara, Ph.D. (Retired)

“Professor Armstead's breadth of knowledge on a complex array of subjects is always impressive. He gives an audience the reassuring impression of mastering his subjects, showing both wit and wisdom while navigating legal, historical, and current questions with aplomb.”

  Michael Kirtley, International Photojournalist & Filmmaker 

 “Professor Armstead’s presentations have been a huge hit with the Commandery, generally attracting the largest crowds of the year to our monthly luncheons. He has been able to pack a lot of material into the 30–40-minute presentations and the feedback I have received from members of the 

San Francisco Commandery has been uniformly glowing.”
