About the lecture:
The Truman Doctrine, which was announced by President Harry Truman on March 12, 1947, was a new yet necessary American response to the extraordinary and unprecedented circumstances of the Cold War. In key ways, the Truman Doctrine has been the cornerstone of U.S. strategy and foreign policy in the modern era. What is the Truman Doctrine, and is it still relevant today?
