The New Cold Wars

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. Generally attributed to Mark Twain, there is some doubt as to whether he actually said it, but there is no doubt that the United States is now engaged in another cold war, this time against dual adversaries China and Russia. That is the subject of David E. Sanger's new book, New Cold Wars and America's Struggle to Defend the West  (Crown Publishers, 2024 edition). Sanger, the national security reporter for The New York Times, also teaches national security policy at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. Having acquired a wealth of sources in intelligence agencies, foreign governments and tech companies, Sanger is uniquely qualified to take us behind the scenes to explain the origins of the new cold wars, and the objectives of the adversaries. In this study group we will assess whether a politically dysfunctional America has the will to stand up against them. It would be nice if this new cold war were to end like the last one, but remember, history doesn't repeat itself. This will be a seven week course the second half of the semester.
