The second part focuses on a series of case studies, including: Eisenhower and the Cuban revolution; Kennedy/Johnson and Vietnam; Nixon and Chile; Carter and Iran; Reagan and the Philippines; and Bush/Clinton/Bush policy toward Colombia. Films related to topics covered in both parts of the unit are shown in some of the seminars.
