aspen institute in washington dc. it is one hour. >> welcome everybody. >> i am walter isaacson. it is my pleasure to welcome you to the aspen institute. we were just discussing the period in the late 1940's. many years ago, we wrote a book called "the wise men, which was -- "the wiseman," when we were facing challenges similar to the global challenges we are facing today. during that period, the undersecretary of state, every across used to drive by rock creek from where he lived and stop by and talk to arthur vandenberg, the republican chair of the senate foreign relations committee. together with a bipartisan group of people in the senate and the truman administration, they were able to have the most creative flourish to a global challenge in history, the creation of nato, the world bank, the institutions of radio free europe, the bretton woods economic agreements, the marshall plan that rebuilt europe. we are facing that kind of struggle today when we face terrorism, isis, a new global challenge that is pretty much as dangerous as the rise of soviet-backed communism in the 1940'
