[Fairfield, CT, October 21, 2016] The Fairfield Public Library, 1080 Old Post Road will be hosting a historical series with popular host, Mark Albertson. There will be four parts to this series, The Cold War, which will begin November 3: Kennan and Containment, November 10: The Bear Grows Claws, November 17: Détente and Arms Control and December 8: Quagmire. The lectures will be on Thursdays at 7 pm in the Rotary Room.
This lecture series will trace the cold war from the point of view of both the United States and the Soviet Union. It will touch upon the Soviet Union’s rise to power from a backward peasant economy to the world’s second leading industrial power. The jockeying for position of primacy between Washington and Moscow became a high stakes game.
