During the Cold War, the United States trained and equipped police across the globe to fight crime and subversion. This talk reveals how the law-enforcement experts who led this effort played significant and under-appreciated roles in shaping domestic law enforcement and fighting a War on Crime.

Stuart Schrader is a lecturer in Africana Studies, International Studies and Sociology at Johns Hopkins University. He is the author of articles in Humanity, Journal of Urban History, and Public Culture, as well as a forthcoming book from University of California Press, from which this talk is drawn.
