The Detente Deception examines the competition between the U.S.-led
Western bloc and the Soviet bloc in the less developed world during
the final years of Detente. Rivero assesses whether or not the
Soviet bloc pushed for strategic gains in the Third World and
whether this contributed to the U.S. decision to abandon Detente in
1979. This view is articulated by many acclaimed scholars such as
Stephen Walt (1992), John Gaddis (1997), and Vladislav Zubok
(2007). They make the case that during the final years of Detente
and throughout the 1980s, U.S. policy in places such as Nicaragua
and Angola was a calculated response to Soviet aggression in the
less-developed world. This book challenges this position as the
quantitative evidence points to U.S. aggression. Not only did the
Western bloc push to maintain dominance over the Third World,
archival evidence also suggests the US made significant efforts in
Eastern Europe and Afghanistan during the final years of Detente to
dismantle the Soviet bloc.
