Commission report, and many other books. And he is now in the midst of writing a terrific book on sort of decisions for war. And in ways that illuminate old crises and decisions like going to war in 1898, wilsons decision for war in world war i. He sort of brilliantly reassessing these decisions. Were all looking forward to philips next book. At the same time, hes doing about a dozen other things that none of us can keep track of. Sometimes we dont know about. Philip, thank you. Thank you. I actually am sorry to say, we need to wait for james wilson to show up. So he is probably out there somewhere having a good conversation. If we can send the search party out. So far its been a great panel. It is rather intimidating when you sit next to somebody that can refer to his book. Glad you could join us. Thank you. All right. Lets go ahead and get started then. This is a panel covering the period only of the great second crisis phase of the cold war in the early 1980s extending to end of the
High points that i want to call attention to the fact that i have the url where the full presentation may be accessed. The final slide will happen again also. That way you could dwell longer on some of the slides, so i will be going over that lightly. The book came out in the last two years. The dust jacket blurb, it reads he gives the story of the american underground revolutionaries and what it has desperately needed. He has sifted the embers of the conflagration of the counterculture. That is what i want to begin with because this term counterculture has in recent years come to subsume everything that happened in the 1960s, particularly associated with activities on the left, whether baby of political or cultural origin and intent. You find this term being used in many different ways over the course of the historiography. Sometimes as a compound, two words, and sometimes as a single.

Prof. Ferling hello, everybody. I want to thank the Atlanta History Center for inviting me in and provide a much nicer weather for me than six years ago when i came in when my wife carol and i were driving and that is, we looked at the thermometer on the dashboard of the car and it was 103 degrees as we came in. So it is much nicer to me. I want to thank you for coming out, especially on night when my priors are struggling to stay alive. I guess well find out how we think that when this is over. I want to talk with you tonight about jefferson and hamilton. Their political battle was over the shape and care for the new american nation and not battle has been a sense never really ended. Puts one in mind of the line from folksinger when he says the past isnt dead.

International history as well. We are going to begin by looking at a canoe thats roughly 300 years old. This is a piece that is actually a symbol much tof the collisiono cultures that make up the earliest populations in virginia history. So this piece represents the merging of european and native American Cultures. Many people talk about virginia history being four centuries long but in reality, the history of human habitation in virginia spans back to anywhere between 16,000 to 20,000 years into the past. So the canoe we have here represents the way in which thighs two cultures sometimes clashed with one another, sometimes failed to see eyetoeye but in many ways, were learning from one another and absorbing elements of each others culture. So the canoe here is made in the traditional dugout canoe fashion where you have a log thats been felled and its traditionally scraped out by setting a small fire within the log. The instasmall fire is controll carefully by folks making the canoe an
