The Cold War is shaping our current era. It's the last major global conflict. It laid down the template for much of our current geopolitics and even politics.

Historian Alfred McCoy joins us to discuss his new book, Cold War on Five Continents: A Global History of Empire and Espionage from Haymarket Books. "The Moment of Truth" with Jeff Dorchen follows the interview.
