Ingo Trauschweizer is a professor of history and former director of the Contemporary History Institute at Ohio University, where he teaches courses on American and global military history, the Cold War, and the Vietnam War. His books include The Cold War U.S. Army: Building Deterrence for Limited War and Maxwell Taylor’s Cold War: From Berlin to Vietnam.
“As the consensus around global institutions and alliances shatters around us, this marvelous volume is a timely intervention. Trauschweizer gathers a stellar team of historians to recover the forces that produced the postwar liberal international order and to help us understand the structural and ideational challenges it faces today.” “An optimistic volume that concludes it is quite premature to talk about the imminent demise of the liberal postwar order. Anyone with a serious interest in global affairs will benefit from reading these inspiring contributions.” “At a time when the value of international organizations, including the United Nations and NATO, is increasingly questioned, the contributors present stimulating, balanced and insightful accounts of the limits and possibilities of international cooperation. A must-read for everyone who is curious about the past, present, and future of the liberal international order.”
