The Cold War: A Historical Perspective (session 1 of 5)
For those of a certain age, the Cold War is remembered as a defining backdrop of everyday life and was, by many, nothing less than a struggle for good and evil in its most elemental forms. Ideological adversaries before World War II, the two emergent superpowers afterwards, the United States and Soviet Union, became military adversaries as well. This undeclared global war ended only after the fall of Soviet Communist State and the breakaway of the Soviet satellite states in the years between 1989 and 1991.
Presented by Arthur Gottlieb, LCSW, CSA. Art Gottlieb is a local historian on subjects of political and military history. He was formerly a professional curator of naval history and the Technical Director of Exhibits at the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum in New York City. In these roles, Mr. Gottlieb worked regularly with veterans of all services towards the creation of exhibits accurately illustrating the history of 20th century warfare.

Join us once a month for some lively discussion about great books! November's book discussion will be "The Searcher" by Tana French.
Booklist: “Wearing the scars of both a painful divorce and 25 years with the Chicago Police Department, Cal Hooper buys a fixer-upper in Ireland, looking to decompress while reclaiming his dormant DIY skills. … An encounter with the sullen and mostly silent Trey, who becomes an able assistant on the remodeling project, leads to Cal agreeing to help search for the gender-fluid teen's brother, who has disappeared. … This is a fine thriller, but it's also a moving story of an unlikely friendship that grows from refinishing a ramshackle desk to rebuilding two nearly broken lives.”
Books are available a month prior to the program and can be picked up at the Circulation Desk or via our Library-to-Go service.
