This textbook provides a dynamic and concise overview of the Cold
War. Offering balanced coverage of the whole era, it takes a firmly
global approach, showing how at various times the focus of
East-West rivalry shifted to new and surprising venues, from Laos
to Katanga, from Nicaragua to Angola. Throughout, Jenkins
emphasises intelligence, technology and religion, as well as
highlighting themes that are relevant to the present day. A rich
array of popular culture examples is used to demonstrate how the
crisis was understood and perceived by mainstream audiences across
the world, and the book includes three 'snapshot' chapters, which
offer an overview of the state of play at pivotal moments in the
conflict - 1946, 1968 and 1980 - in order to illuminate the
inter-relationship between apparently discrete situations. This is
an essential introduction for students studying Cold War, twentieth
century or Global history.
