The term the Cold War has had many meanings and interpretations
since it was originally coined and has been used to analyse
everything from comics to pro-natalist policies, and science
fiction to gender politics. This range has great value, but also
poses problems, notably by diluting the focus on war of a certain
type, and by exacerbating a lack of precision in definition and
analysis. The Cold War: A Military History is the first survey of
the period to focus on the diplomatic and military confrontation
and conflict. Jeremy Black begins his overview in 1917 and covers
the 'long Cold War', from the 7th November Revolution to the
ongoing repercussions and reverberations of the conflict today. The
book is forward-looking as well as retrospective, not least in
encouraging us to reflect on how much the character of the present
world owes to the Cold War. The result is a detailed survey that
will be invaluable to students and scholars of military and
international history.
