A Tale of Three Cities: How the United States Won World War II At the end of World War II in August 1945, Winston Churchill declared that "the United States stand at this moment at the summit of the world." The United States has in fact continued to occupy that summit for the last six decades -- becoming history's wealthiest nation and dominating the international system as few powers have ever been able to do. How did that remarkable transformation in the nature of American society, and America's relation to the world, come about? Was it an accident of war or the deliberate result of policy? Professor Kennedy's lecture will offer some answers to those questions. More Information... |

George W. Bush and American Foreign Policy: What's New? What's Old? A distinguished historian of the Cold War, Melvyn Leffler has written extensively about the economic and strategic dimensions of American foreign policy in the 20th century, including in his prize-winning book, A Preponderance of Power: National Security, the Truman Administration, and the Cold War (1992). Leffler will illuminate the considerable continuities that exist between the Bush foreign policy, goals, tactics, and rhetoric and those of his predecessors, and will suggest that the reasons that it has caused so much controversy lie in the ways that fear, power, and culture shape American diplomacy. |
