SUMMARY:World Affairs Council of Kentucky and Southern Indiana: United States Diplomacy: From Its Beginnings to Today
DESCRIPTION:A Celebration of Diplomatic Accomplishments Throughout America’s 250-year History \nAmerica’s diplomats helped win the Revolution back in 1776 and played a key role in helping our country grow in both size and influence over the following 250 years. \nThis exhibit\, created by the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training\, captures key moments when diplomats made the difference in America’s fate\, from protecting the young republic in its most vulnerable moments to helping our nation expand across the continent. It also explores how diplomats navigated two world wars and then built an international system that enabled the United States to win the Cold War and grow into the largest economy in the world. \nCome learn how our diplomats have helped shape America’s success and are confronting the challenges of the 21st Century!

SUMMARY:ADST 2026 AGM Distinguished Speaker: Dr. Melvyn P. Leffler
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a talk on managing the U.S.-China relationship by Professor Melvyn P. Leffler\, followed by Q&A.  \nThe Cold War is often used as an analogy for grappling with China today. But does the comparison really make sense historically? This talk will look at why it largely does not\, while drawing out important lessons from the Cold War. \nMELVYN P. LEFFLER is the Edward Stettinius Professor Emeritus of American History at the University of Virginia. His book on the origins of the Cold War–A Preponderance of Power–won the Bancroft Prize\, and For the Soul of Mankind won the American Historical Association’s George Beer Prize. He co-edited the three-volume Cambridge History of the Cold War and has served as president of the Society for the History of American Foreign Relations\, Harmsworth Professor at Oxford University\, and on the Department of State’s and CIA’s historical advisory committees. His most recent book\, Confronting Saddam Hussein: George W. Bush and the Invasion of Iraq\, was published by Oxford University Press in 2023. \nPlease RSVP to info@adst.org and indicate whether you will attend in person or virtually. The registration deadline is November 16.
