A brief history of the Cold War is mission impossible. But I accomplished it before AI can do it. Long live human history written by humans, with warts and all. Great to be in this vibrant field!

Two excellent historians Campbell Craig and Fred Logevall: “Chamberlain’s mistake in 1938 was not that he went to Munich; it was what he did when he got there.” A lesson for negotiations to end the current war in Ukraine.

Niall Freguson writes in FA that Reagan won the Cold War by forcing Gorby to make reforms. The evidence does not support this at all. My forthcoming book tells that wrong lessons from the past (particularly entrenched like this) lead to big trouble.
