The massive expansion of the military-industrial complex during the Cold
War era also encompassed American universities. In California
particularly, institutions such as the University of California and the
California Institute of Technology trained engineers, physicists,
chemists and nuclear scientists to insure America's technological

the H-bomb, were deeply involved in the Cold War. As institutions, they
tacitly promoted the interests
and ideals of the established powers in society.
