Professor Anne Deighton talks at the launch of the Chatham House Online Archive

Anne Deighton was one of a panel of speakers at the launch of the Chatham House Online Archive (15 May).

She spoke about a 1950 Chatham House study group on the Cold War (which called the Cold War ‘All mischief short of war’), and said that current crisis in Ukraine may seem to have some historical lessons and echoes from then. However, the Ukraine crisis is in fact very different from the early Cold War.
