Reviews

No review of 1,200 words can do full justice to the wealth of information, insight, and intellectual challenges that the thirty-four essays of the Oxford Handbook of the Cold War comprise ... I have greatly benefited from reading the book as will all scholars who are interested in the key conflict that defined global history in the second half of the twentieth century and will arguably remain a vibrant field of historical scholarship in the foreseeable future. Manfred Berg, H-Soz-u-Kult Essential. M. O'Donnell, CHOICE [An] invaluable resource for specialists and students alike ... Every major region of the world is covered, as is almost every conceivable topic ... One of the book's many strengths is that the contributors do not speak with a single voice. Rather, they represent a diversity of viewpoints and perspectives ... the collection stands as a magnificent achievement. Its breadth and its helpful bibliographical aids alone make this a must-have volume. Journal of Cold War Studies
