The Global Cold War by Odd Arne Westad
Third World Interventions and the Making of Our Times
A sweeping reinterpretation of the Cold War as a truly global struggle in which superpower rivalry intersected with decolonization, nationalist movements, and local conflicts across Asia, Africa, and Latin America; it argues that Soviet, Chinese, and Western interventions, aid, and ideological competition shaped revolutions, proxy wars, state formation, and economic policies in the Third World, producing militarization, political polarization, and development trajectories whose consequences help explain many later conflicts and alignments.
