From Neville Chamberlain’s disastrous appeasement of Hitler in Munich to Reagan’s pivotal encounter with Gorbachev in Geneva, the history of the twentieth century as told through its most fateful summit meetings. The Cold War dominated history for nearly half a century, locking two superpowers in a global rivalry that ended only with the collapse of the Soviet Union. For millennia, the outcomes of war had been determined on the battlefield, but the most decisive moments of the Cold War occurred in the carefully worded exchanges of world leaders meeting face to face. In the shado

But perhaps nothing influenced Whitman more than the political events of his lifetime, as the struggle over slavery threatened to rip apart

The trajectory of change points in different directions, with the world growing at once more connected and more fragmented. Commerce and migrations, television and the World Wide Web, suggest a story of growing interconnnection. The proliferation of nation-states, the divisions ro
