The lines of armed conflict, and the catastrophic perils they
portended, were shaped with shocking clarity in the immediate
aftermath of World War II. Less clear is the role religious
ideology played in the conflicts that defined the Cold War era. All
too often, beliefs held sacred by some became tools to motivate
action or create friction. In Religion and the Cold War, Philip
Muehlenbeck assembles an international team of specialists to
explore how religion informed the ideological and military clashes
across the globe in the second half of the twentieth century.
Students and scholars will find in this volume a level of
comprehensiveness rarely achieved in Cold War studies. Each chapter
reveals that the power and influence of ideas are just as important
as military might in the struggles between superpowers and that few
ideas, then as now, carry as much force as religious ideology. As
Muehlenbeck and his contributors demonstrate, no area of the world,
and no religious tenet, was safe from the manipulations of a
powerful set of players focused solely on their own sphere of
influence.
