Supervisory Historian, United States Department of State

Paul Nitze is best known as the author of NSC 68, a national security strategy that helped shape the Cold War era, the policy of containment, and with it, modern American history, including Cold War victory over the Soviet Union. 

State Department Historian Dr. James Graham Wilson will discuss his biography of Nitze, America's Cold Warrior: Paul Nitze and National Security from Roosevelt to Reagan, with Hudson’s Dr. Jonathan Ward, an expert on US-China competition and the author of The Decisive Decade: American Grand Strategy for Triumph over China.

The talk will cover Nitze’s life and legacy, his enduring impact on American history, and lessons for present-day national security and foreign policy in the face of renewed competition and conflict with Russia and China.
