In the United States, the Cold War is often remembered as a
two-power struggle. However, increasing globalization during that
time meant nations across the world became involved in the
conflict. During the Eisenhower administration, American officials
struggled to respond to the dual threats of communism and
nationalism as decolonization swept through the Third World during
the 1950s and changed the nature of the Cold War and U.S. foreign
relations with those nations. As the Cold War increasingly became a
zero-sum game, the Third World became the primary battleground in
the ideological, economic, and political struggle between
Washington and Moscow. Indeed, as these essays demonstrate, the
Eisenhower administration placed an extremely high priority on
victory in the Third World and seemed willing to go to virtually
any length to ensure that countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle
East, and the Americas remained aligned with the forces of
democracy and capitalism. Relying on formerly unavailable archival
research from many nations, the scholars in this volume
systematically assess the impact of the globalizing Cold War and
the process of decolonization on the Eisenhower administration's
foreign policy. Intended for diplomatic historians and readers
interested in the Cold War, this book is a major contribution to an
under-studied aspect of that conflict. Contributions by: Michael R.
