Between 1968 and 1975, there was a subtle thawing of relations
between East and West, for which Brezhnev coined the name Detente,
and - perhaps - a chance to end the Cold War. The leaders of the
United States and the Soviet Union, Richard Nixon and Leonid
Brezhnev, hoped to forge a new relationship between East and West.
Yet, the greatest changes of the era took place outside the sphere
of international diplomacy. The 1960s brought social collision
across the world, from the anti-war protests in America to the
student demonstrations on the streets of Paris, and Mao Tsetung's
Red Guards in China. A new generation, whom advertising executives
dubbed the baby-boomers, brought new attitudes to towards sex,
gender, race, the environment and religion. In this book, Richard
Crowder explores the years of Detente, and introduces us to the key
players of the era, whose stories form the narrative of this book.
