Transatlantic Environmental Historian (Leiden University)

”In a way, I am a product of the Cold War. My parents met at an Euromissile protest in Comiso, Sicily. So, I don’t even know if my whole existence would have been possible without the Dual Track Decision. The Cold War was also the context within which most of my childhood happened. I remember getting curious about it after watching as a young kid the epic, cinematic Balboa-Drago match. Since then, America’s Cold War triumphalism has remained an object of intellectual curiosity and interest.”
