Reviews
With excellent use of contemporary Cold War scholarship and primary sources, the authors weave together a complex, interesting narrative that brings a genuinely global perspective to the Cold War.--Teresa Fava Thomas, Fitchburg State University A lucid, well-organized introduction to the international context of the historic rivalry between Washington and Moscow from 1947 to 1991. It is a timely contribution in an era that many observers are calling 'The New Cold War.'--William Keylor, Boston University Judge and Langdon present clear accounts of every significant Cold War episode, responsible treatments of contentious issues, and understandable explanations of competing points of view.--Mark Kulikowski, SUNY Oswego In this rich and pithy book, two well-known scholars of the Cold War provide an enormous service for those seeking to understand the origins and limits of decolonization. Historians of empire have long contended with the question of what the retreat of formal empires actually ended, and what legacies of colonialism survived into the present day. By intersecting the histories of the Cold War and decolonization on a global scale, Judge and Langdon guide readers to an understanding of the superpower and systemic struggles that shaped and limited the end of empire and the manner in which the fight for independence in turn fashioned the contours of the Cold War. This book is about nothing less significant than the production of the world in which we live.--Trevor R. Getz, San Francisco State University
