SUMMARY:WorldNow: America's Cold Warrior Paul Nitze and National Security
DESCRIPTION:Author James Graham Wilson joins us for another episode of WorldNow with Jim Falk on Paul Nitze\, America’s most influential national security strategist throughout the Cold War. \n“This book is not a stale history of an insignificant person. It is a well written\, fascinating story centered around a very influential man. It just happens that the man’s name is unknown to most\, even if his acts are not…America’s Cold Warrior is a book for the casual reader and policy wonk alike. If you enjoy history\, war\, or great biographies\, this book is for you.” – Global Security Review \nPurchase America’s Cold Warrior here | Buy on Barnes & Noble | Sundance Bookstore | Amazon \nThe details:\nWhen: Wednesday\, October 23 | 7:00PM ET \nWhere: Zoom Webinar \nTickets: No charge | Register for Zoom link \n \n\n\nAbout the Book\nAmerica’s Cold Warrior: Paul Nitze and National Security from Roosevelt to Reagan by James Graham Wilson \nIn America’s Cold Warrior\, James Graham Wilson traces Paul Nitze’s career path in national security after World War II\, a time when many of his mentors and peers returned to civilian life. Serving in eight presidential administrations\, Nitze commanded White House attention even when he was out of government\, especially with his withering criticism of Jimmy Carter during Carter’s presidency. While Nitze is perhaps best known for leading the formulation of NSC-68\, which Harry Truman signed in 1950\, Wilson contends that Nitze’s most significant contribution to American peace and security came in the painstaking work done in the 1980s to negotiate successful treaties with the Soviets to reduce nuclear weapons while simultaneously deflecting skeptics surrounding Ronald Reagan. America’s Cold Warrior connects Nitze’s career and concerns about strategic vulnerability to the post-9/11 era and the challenges of the 2020s\, where the United States finds itself locked in geopolitical competition with the People’s Republic of China and Russia. \nPurchase America’s Cold Warrior here | Buy on Barnes & Noble | Sundance Bookstore | Amazon \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Author\nJames Graham Wilson is a Historian at the US Department of State\, where he is currently responsible for editing volumes in the Foreign Relations of the United States series on arms control and national security during the Reagan Administration. In addition to America’s Cold Warrior\, he is also the author of The Triumph of Improvisation: Gorbachev’s Adaptability\, Reagan’s Engagement\, and the End of the Cold War. \nAbout the Moderator\nJim Falk is President Emeritus of the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth.
