About This Book

The term the Cold War has had many meanings and interpretations since it was originally coined and has been used to analyse everything from comics to pro-natalist policies, and science fiction to gender politics. This range has great value, but also poses problems, notably by diluting the focus on war of a certain type, and by exacerbating a lack of precision in definition and analysis. The Cold War: A Military Histor y is the first survey of the period to focus on the diplomatic and military confrontation and conflict. Jeremy Black begins his overview in 1917 and covers the 'long Cold War', from the 7th November Revolution to the ongoing repercussions and reverberations of the conflict today. The book is forward-looking as well as retrospective, not least in encouraging us to reflect on how much the character of the present world owes to the Cold War. The result is a detailed survey that will be invaluable to students and scholars of military and international history.

THE 
COLD 
WAR
developments 
(unpredictabilities 
that 
encouraged 
espionage) 
were 
linked 
to 
more 
profound 
ideological 
and 
geopolitical 
rivalries. 
In 
part, 
the 
latter 
came 
to 
deadly 
fruition 
in 
World 
War 
Two, 
notably 
with 
the 
German 
attack 
on 
the 
Soviet 
Union 
in 
1941, 
and 
that 
of 
the 
latter 
on 
Japan 
in 
1945. 
Equally, 
in 
part, 
the 
alignments 
of 
that 
war 
witnessed 
simply 
a 
particular 
stage 
of 
those 
rivalries. 
This 
wartime 
stage, 
more 
correctly 
stages, 
did 
not 
end 
a 
deep 
rivalry 
between 
Communism 
and 
the 
West, 
nor 
the 
related 
struggles 
to 
control 
the 
fate 
of 
Europe, 
the 
Far 
East, 
and 
the 
Western 
empires. 
These 
remained 
a 
theme 
during 
the 
war, 
and 
became 
more 
important 
thereafter.
