Professor Andrey Ivanov, UW-Platteville
Part of our Big Read Programming Series. Open to everyone.
The Cold war, an open but restricted rivalry between The Soviet Union, the United States and their respective allies, lasted nearly 50 years. Dr. Ivanov will give us an overview of this time frame and share what was going on worldwide. Our Big Read book, Wise Gals, is set mostly during the Cold War. This program is a perfect preview of the timeframe the author writes about.
