The history of the Cold War has focused overwhelmingly on
statecraft and military power, an approach that has naturally
placed Moscow and Washington center stage. Meanwhile, regions such
as Alaska, the polar landscapes, and the cold areas of the Soviet
periphery have received little attention. However, such
environments were of no small importance during the Cold War: in
addition to their symbolic significance, they also had direct
implications for everything from military strategy to natural
resource management. Through histories of these extremely cold
environments, this volume makes a novel intervention in Cold War
historiography, one whose global and transnational approach
undermines the simple opposition of "East" and "West."
