Harvey Goldberg Lecture Set: US Imperialism and Postwar Europe (12 CDs)

In this essential series, Goldberg sets the stage for his famed semester-long "Contemporary Socities course by providing a longer overview of US strategic interest extending back to the earlier moments of U.S. overseas expansion following the crisis of the 1890s. He quickly moves forward to explore the World War II and very early post-war years, to provide the context for the rise of the “Pax Americana, resistance to it, and the origins of the "Cold War”. Included is a series of lectures on the history of 20th century Greece which sets the stage for an understanding of the "Truman Doctrine" and what came after.
