But in this major new work, Bancroft Prize-winning scholar Odd Arne Westad argues that the Cold War must be understood as a global ideological confrontation, with early roots in the Industrial Revolution and ongoing repercussions around the world. In The Cold War, Westad offers a new perspective on a century when great power rivalry and ideological battle transformed every corner of our globe. From Soweto to Hollywood, Hanoi, and Hamburg, young men and women felt they were fighting for the future of the world. The Cold War may have begun on the perimeters of Europe, but it had its deepest reverberations in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, where nearly every community had to choose sides. And these choices continue to define economies and regimes across the world. Today, many regions are plagued with environmental threats, social divides, and ethnic conflicts that stem from this era. Its ideologies influence China, Russia, and the United States; Iraq and Afghanistan have been destroyed by the faith in purely military solutions that emerged from the Cold War. Stunning in its breadth and revelatory in its perspective, this book expands our understanding of the Cold War both geographically and chronologically, and offers an engaging new history of how today's world was created."--Dust jacket flap. 586 Winner of the Bancroft Prize 647 7 Cold War|d(1945-1989)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1754978 648 7 1945-1989|2fast 650 0 Cold War.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh88005637 650 0 World politics|y1945-1989.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh85148225 650 0 Cold War|xInfluence.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2007008323 650 7 World politics.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1181381 650 7 War|xInfluence.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1170343 880 0 |6505-00|aWorld making -- Starting points -- Tests of war -- Europe's asymmetries -- Reconstructions -- New Asia -- Korean tragedy -- Eastern spheres -- The making of the West -- China's scourge -- Breaking empires -- Kennedy's contingencies -- Encountering Vietnam -- The Cold War and Latin America -- The age of Brezhnev -- Nixon in Beijing - - The Cold War and India -- Middle East maelstroms -- Defeating d�etente -- European portents -- Gorbachev -- Global transformations -- European realities -- The world the Cold War made. 901 MARCIVE 20231220 948 |d20180926|clti|tlti-aex 994 C0|bRID
