The New Cold War
02/22/23 • 83 min
When the Soviet Union fell apart, and China began its economic liberalization, it looked like those two old Cold War foes were becoming, if not friends, at least not enemies. But now we find ourselves in a new Cold War as both those nations aggressively confront America and our allies. On this special episode of American POTUS being hosted at the Howard Baker Center for Public Policy, we will explore why this has occurred, and the role of presidents in confronting these challenges, with former United States Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, and presidential historian Dr. Jeffrey Engel from the Center for Presidential History at Southern Methodist University.

Ronald Reagan's Starring Role
The Soviets weren’t too thrilled when this actor turned President rolled into the White House. His Build-Up-To-Build-Down strategy was about to make life very, very difficult for them. But if one thing was certain, he wouldn’t be able to star in this production alone. So he put together a dynamic internal cast of characters and relied on supporting allies around the world. We're talking about the man who became both a director and an actor in this real-world drama and how he helped end the Cold War peacefully. Ronald Reagan is on this episode of American POTUS!
