This series examines how the hidden world of espionage influenced the most crucial and climactic years of the Cold War and the impact on relationships in the current world order between East and West with the new Russia, China, The EU and the US. Using a series of texts that examine the political and cultural climate of the Cold War, the stories of the agents who influenced them and the current Cold Wars, our discussions will examine the past and the present world order. Our examinations will also include film excerpts. We will meet monthly on Thursday evenings at 6:30 pm from October to January. Books will be available at the library
