Five American Presidents (Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon) shaped the post-War world both in their own country and beyond. America changed hugely during the thirty years of their presidencies and each of them played an important part in that. In the same way, the Cold War and various conflicts shaped an emergence from historical isolationism to a truly global power.

Course programme

We explore each President: their life stories; their personalities; their policies; and how they changed the face of their country.

Lectures and discussion will be supplemented by video, articles and other sourced reading materials, as relevant. You will gain more from the course, in terms of enjoyment and learning, if you are able and willing to do some supplementary reading outside of class meetings. You may also have the opportunity to explore more resources for discussion in classroom-based activities.
