The Mediterranean sea has been a key geopolitical territory in the
global international relations of the twentieth century; of crucial
importance to the US, the Middle East and in the history of the EU.
As Cold War documents become declassified and these archives become
accessible to western historians, this volume reassesses the secret
war waged over three decades for control of the Mediterranean Sea.
An 'American lake' in the 1950s, a battlefield for influence in the
Cold War of the 1960s, and an increasingly important political
arena for the oil-rich Gulf States in the 1970s, the Mediterranean
offers a focal point around which the major themes and narratives
of Cold War history were constructed. "Detente in Cold War Europe"
draws together detailed analyses of the major moments of post-WWII
history through the prism of the Mediterranean - including the
signing of the Helsinki Accords in 1975, the Jordan crisis of 1970,
the Soviet role in the Yom Kippur war, the Cyprus emergency of
1974, US-Soviet detente and US-Israeli relations under President
Nixon. This book is a vital work for historians of the twentieth
century and for those seeking to understand the importance of the
Mediterranean in the political history of the Cold War.
