Reviews
'Epic in scope and daring in its intellectual ambition, Cold Wars forces us to rethink our conventional wisdom about the international history of the past hundred years. By taking a regional approach, more horizontal than vertical, Lorenz M. Luthi reveals the inner workings of the Cold War system.' Andrew Preston, author of American Foreign Relations: A Very Short Introduction 'An entirely new perspective on the Cold War as a global phenomenon, emphasizing regional and local contexts, and how the Superpower Cold War interacted with other prominent narratives. Luthi's book is a must read for those who seek to understand the globalization of Cold War processes and the hybridizations that emerged outside of the Superpowers themselves.' O.A. Westad, author of The Cold War: A World History 'With the support of heroic efforts to engage in extensive, multilingual and multi-archival research, Luthi has written a book, the first of its kind, that convincingly demonstrates why and how the Cold War was indeed global. This volume not only adds to the existing scholarship of the Cold War but also, and more importantly, significantly broadens and deepens the underlying agenda of Cold War studies in both academic and intellectual senses.' Chen Jian, author of Mao's China and the Cold War 'Luthi pushes the boundaries of the new global cold war historiography. Asia, the Middle East, and Europe all mattered, and not just because the superpowers intervened there. Decolonization, the rivalry of middle powers, non-alignment, and pan-Islamism are all given their due. A singular achievement.' Robert Vitalis, author of White World Order, Black Power Politics: The Birth of American International Relations

It is a book of prodigious research and immense erudition.' Melvyn P. Leffler, Journal of Cold War Studies
