The Cold War by Odd Arne Westad
A World History
A sweeping global history that reframes the Cold War as more than a bipolar standoff in Europe, showing how superpower rivalry intersected with decolonization, national revolutions, and development conflicts across Asia, Africa, and Latin America; it traces the ideological, political, and military dimensions of the struggle from the postwar settlement through Korea, Vietnam, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the eventual Soviet collapse, and emphasizes the agency of local actors and the conflict’s lasting effects on international order and development.
