ABILENE, Kan. –  Author Christopher Bright will discuss his new book “Continental Defense in the Eisenhower Era: Nuclear Antiaircraft Arms and the Cold War” on Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. in the Visitors Center of the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum.

Bright is an independent scholar of 20th century American diplomatic and political history. His book was published this year by Palgrave Macmillan and is based on his dissertation at the George Washington University, where Bright received his Ph.D. in 2006.

His research at the Eisenhower Presidential Library drew upon formerly classified documents. “We are always pleased to have researchers return to the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum and share their finished works,” states Karl Weissenbach, Director. “Dr. Bright’s research proves there are always new subjects awaiting researchers here because of the countinuing release of Eisenhower Administration records.”
