## "Mapping the End of Empire: American and British Strategic Visions in the Postwar World"

### Speaker:

**Aiyaz Husain**, *Historian, Office of the Historian, US Department of State.*

Dr. Husain will discuss his new book from Harvard University Press, *Mapping the End of Empire: American and British Strategic Visions in the Postwar World.* By the end of World War II, strategists in Washington and London looked ahead to a new era in which the United States shouldered global responsibilities and Britain concentrated its regional interests more narrowly. The two powers also viewed the Muslim world through very different lenses. *Mapping the End of Empire* reveals how Anglo–American perceptions of geography shaped postcolonial futures from the Middle East to South Asia.
