Daniel bessner is an Assistant Professor in the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington, the co-host of the American Prestigepodcast, and a nonresident fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. In an essay last year for the Ideas Letter, Bessner reviewed recent scholarly literature on the Cold War, concluding “that responsibility for the Cold War lies, in the final analysis, with the United States.” He is the co-editor of the new book Cold War Liberalism: Power in a Time of Emergency, available from Cambridge University Press. Prof. Bessner joined Current Affairs editor-in-chief Nathan J. Robinson to discuss why it is so vital in our own time to examine and learn the lessons of the Cold War.
