Dr. Will Inboden, a national security scholar from the LBJ School of Public Affairs at The University of Texas at Austin, masterfully describes Ronald Reagan's foreign policy and the role of the United States in ending the Cold War, in a discussion moderated by Bill Shute, Executive Director of the LBJ Washington Center. This is the subject of his new book The Peacemaker: Ronald Reagan, the Cold War and the World on the Brink.

This event is the fourth and final installment of a special series titled “Policy Lessons from the Past" with four Texas-based policy experts discussing how our shared history impacts today's political environment, spanning topics like racial justice, immigration, global confrontations and the very nature of democracy. “Policy Lessons from the Past” is presented by the LBJ School Washington Center.
