Steven Cook, Senior Historian at the US Department of State and Author
America’s Cold Warrior: Paul Nitze and National Security
Moderated by: Jim Falk, President Emeritus of the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth

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.

“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
