Harvard Book Store welcomes Harvard Kennedy School’s ODD ARNE WESTAD for a discussion of his latest book, The Cold War: A World History.
We tend to think of the Cold War as a bounded conflict: a clash between two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, born out of the ashes of World War II and coming to a dramatic end with the collapse of the Soviet Union. But in this major new work, Bancroft Prize-winning scholar ODD ARNE WESTAD argues that the Cold War must be understood as a global ideological confrontation, with early roots in the Industrial Revolution and ongoing repercussions around the world.
