While scholarship abounds on the diplomatic and security aspects of
the Cold War, very little attention has been paid to military
planning at the operational level. In Blueprints for Battle,
experts from Russia, the United States, and Europe address this
dearth by closely examining the military planning of NATO and
Warsaw Pact member nations from the end of World War II to the
beginning of detente. Informed by material from recently opened
archives, this collection investigates the perceptions and actions
of the rival coalitions, exploring the challenges presented by
nuclear technology, examining how military commanders' perceptions
changed from the 1950s to the 1960s, and discussing logistical
coordination among allied states. The result is a detailed study
that offers much-needed new perspectives on the military aspects of
the early Cold War.
Gestutzt auf bislang unausgewertete Quellen werden Konzeption,
Organisation und Technik einer neuen deutschen Luftwaffe in der
westlichen Allianz nachgezeichnet. Zentrale Bedeutung fur
Ausbildung, Ausrustung und Einsatzrollen gewinnen dabei der Einbau
in die atomare Vergeltungsstrategie und deren Wandel seit Beginn
der 60er Jahre. Erweitert und erganzt werden diese Forschungsfelder
durch Einblicke in die Luftverteidigung der NATO und die Ausbildung
in den USA. Aufbau und Entwicklung bleiben dabei eng verknupft mit
den Komplexen Rustungsbeschaffung, technologische Entwicklung und
materielle Einsatzbereitschaft. Hochrangige Zeitzeugen vertiefen
diese Einsichten aus ihrem Miterleben in den fliegenden Verbanden,
der Flugabwehrtruppe und der Logistik."
This edited collection examines the role of the Fulda Gap-located
at the border between East and West Germany-in Cold War politics
and military strategy. The contributors analyze the strategic
deliberations of the Warsaw Pact and NATO, the balance of forces,
the role of the local peace movement, and various other topics,
while weaving together the history of the Cold War at local,
European, and global levels.
