520    "We tend to think of the Cold War as a bounded conflict: a
       clash of two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet
       Union, born out of the ashes of World War II and coming to
       a dramatic end with the collapse of the Soviet Union. 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.
