HIST 333 - The Cold War

Semester Offered: Second Semester
Credits (Range): 3 hours

Why the Cold War came about and what it means are the subjects of this colloquium. Emphasizing clashing historiographical interpretations, the course focuses on the period from the end of World War II to 1960. In addition to traditional great power policy issues, the course addresses ambiguities of the “cultural” Cold War and the paradoxes of race (domestically and internationally) and the Cold War. Enrollment Limit 12.
