CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2016 This book examines six
summits spanning the beginning and the end of the Cold War. Using
declassified documents from U.S., British, and other archives,
Chris Tudda shows how the Cold War developed from an ideological
struggle between capitalism and communism into a truly global
struggle. From Potsdam in 1945, to Malta in 1989, the nuclear
superpowers met to determine how to end World War II, manage the
arms race, and ultimately, end the Cold War. Meanwhile, the newly
independent nations of the "Third World," including the People's
Republic of China, became active and respected members of the
international community determined to manage their own fates
independent of the superpowers. The six summits - Potsdam (1945),
Bandung (1955), Glassboro (1967), Beijing (1972), Vienna (1972),
and Malta (1989) - are here examined together in a single volume
for the first time. An introductory essay provides a
historiographical analysis of Cold War summitry, while the
conclusion ties the summits together and demonstrates how the
history of the Cold War can be understood not only by examining the
meetings between the superpowers, but also by analyzing how the
developing nations became agents of change and thus affected
international relations.
