This highly praised book captures the essence and the madness of
the "balance of terror" that was the Cold War. Describing an
extensive period and much of the globe, The A to Z of the Cold War
presents a year-by-year chronology, an introductory essay, and
hundreds of entries on civilian and military leaders, central
issues and peripheral conflicts, crucial countries and their allies
or foes, the contending alliances and the non-aligned, deterrence
and detente, the increasingly lethal weapons systems, and the
various political and military strategies. While both authors are
specialists in American foreign policy and diplomacy, Smith has a
particular interest in United States relations with Latin America
and Davis in Anglo-American relations. This broader focus is
helpful, because it enables the authors to have a broader view of
the Cold War, and having studied and lived in Great Britain, they
view events from a more neutral perspective. This, and a conscious
effort to maintain a scholarly balance, enhances the objectivity of
this volume. Smith and Davis have produced an easy-to-use reference
tool for both the history scholar and student.
