The authors provide a cogent and concise description of the postâWorld War II era and reveal the strong links between the Cold War and anti-colonialism movements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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.
