Walter LaFeber, a noted expert on the history of the Cold War, will be the guest lecturer for the first Gerald J., Myrna F. and Stuart L. Bernath Lecture in the Bernath Auditorium at Wayne State University's David Adamany Undergraduate Library at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 13. The topic will be "George Schultz, Computers and the End of the Cold War."

LaFeber, the Marie Underhill Noll professor of American History at Cornell University, has written or edited more than 15 books, including The New Empire; America, Russia and the Cold War, and Inevitable Revolutions. He is a Guggenheim Fellowship recipient and a winner of the Beveridge and Bancroft Prizes.

Currently president of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations, LaFeber has lectured at the Universities of London and Aberdeen, Johns Hopkins University and the American University, among others.
