Nominator's project description

Professor Lüthi is a leading historian of international relations and a specialist in the history of the Cold War. His recent book Cold Wars: Asia, the Middle East, and Europe has been a game changer in the field and instrumental in genuinely globalizing our understanding of the history of the twentieth century. In Berlin, Professor Lüthi will embark on a major new and ambitious book project, entitled “Divided and Occupied Berlin, 1945-94: A New, Unified History.”
