Description
The Cold War's Killing Fields Rethinking the Long Peace by Paul Thomas Chamberlin is a comprehensive and deeply researched international military history of the Cold War. This sweeping narrative reframes this era in global history, exploring the numerous battles fought to prevent nuclear war, bolster strategic hegemony, and determine the fate of societies throughout the Third World. Chamberlin reveals how bloody the "Long Peace" actually was, with ferocious proxy wars raging across the postcolonial world, resulting in more than fourteen million dead-victims who remain largely forgotten. The book provides an understanding of this sweeping history from the ground up, capturing the voices of those who experienced the brutal warfare. With four maps to illustrate its scope, The Cold War's Killing Fields offers a moving portrait of human suffering and sheds new light on one of the most significant conflicts of the twentieth century.
