A GLOBAL HISTORY OF THE COLD WAR 1945-1991 - PH...

This textbook provides a dynamic and concise overview of the Cold War. Offering balanced
coverage of the whole era  it takes a firmly global approach  showing how at various times the
focus of East-West rivalry shifted to new and surprising venues  from Laos to Katanga  from
Nicaragua to Angola. Throughout  Jenkins emphasises intelligence  technology and religion  as
well as highlighting themes that are relevant to the present day. A rich array of popular
culture examples is used to demonstrate how the crisis was understood and perceived by
mainstream audiences across the world  and the book includes three 'snapshot' chapters  which
offer an overview of the state of play at pivotal moments in the conflict - 1946  1968 and 1980
- in order to illuminate the inter-relationship between apparently discrete situations. This is
an essential introduction for students studying Cold War  twentieth century or Global history.
