When Cold Warriors Met to Talk About Peace: Mark Tokola

We are still digesting the series of summitry that took place in the past few months between North Korea, the United States, and South Korea.

We rightly recognize the historic nature of the president of the United States meeting with the North Korean leader. But more than 50 years ago, there was another meeting between big personalities over the issue of Korea that was just as historic but is all but forgotten today. And while the international environment has changed drastically since, the lessons that the meeting offers to summit goers today is critical.

Our guest today, KEI Vice President Mark Tokola, has just written an essay on this event using declassified state department documents.
