Description

Book Synopsis
This book asks the reader to reassess the Cold War not just as superpower conflict and high diplomacy, but as social and cultural history.

Trade Review

'Historical science would do well to emphasize the status of ther east-West conflict as a struggle for cultural meaning - as a 'war of intellects'. This book helps that process.'

Jost Dulffer
