Iain MacGregor and Dr Sean Dettman
The development of American power can be traced back to the Second World War and the extent to which the United States established the necessary state functions to not only defeat Nazi and Japanese forces but also to dominate the postwar era. This event examines the origins of these debates in 1940-1941 and then how the US demonstrated its monopoly over these positions with the explosion of the world’s first atomic bomb in 1945. Iain MacGregor is a successful editor of non-fiction and a writer and public speaker on modern history. Dr Sean Dettman is a historian, teacher and author.
