With nuclear stalemate holding the superpowers in check during the
Cold War, violence proliferated in the Third World. Sometimes this
took the form of colonial liberation wars as the old European
empires disintegrated after the Second World War (Algeria 1954-1962
or Kenya 1952-1959); sometimes the violence was between Third World
countries such as the Iran-Iraq War, and sometimes it involved the
major powers directly: the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Soviet
intervention in Afghanistan. Certain regions - Central America,
Southern Africa, the Horn of Africa or the Middle East - have been
in more or less perpetual turmoil for thirty years and more. But
whatever form the violence has taken -protracted guerrilla activity
against the central government or short, sharp border war - the big
powers have always been involved. They have provided arms to one or
both sides, they have supported their ideological proteges and,
more generally, have manipulated such wars to their own advantage.
This book examines five broad categories of war: colonial
liberation wars, big power intervention wars, wars between Third
World countries, the special area of Israel and its neighbours, and
civil wars.
