Book excerpt: The Proceedings of the International Conference on Cold War Military Records and History is an important anthology of papers on Cold War historical activities, presented by military historians and archivists of the Western and Eastern blocs to over 140 representatives from seventeen nations. Sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense's Historical Office and held in Washington, D.C., on 21-26 March 1994, the conference offered a venue for building a more solid foundation for bilateral exchanges and visits through a greater understanding of one another's military archives and historical programs. Consisting of forty Cold War military history papers carefully edited by William W. Epley, the anthology covers not only the official historical and archival programs in European and American countries but also the declassification of and access to records. Nine papers serve as a case study of the Berlin crisis of 1958-61, one of the most critical confrontations of the Cold War; two focus on the origins of the Cold War; twelve examine the problems and issues confronting historians writing about the Cold War; and the remaining seventeen outline the archival Cold War holdings and access issues. Taken together, the collected papers offer invaluable insights for understanding the tense and difficult period known as the Cold War.

Download or read book The Cold War through Documents written by Edward H. Judge and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive collection of carefully edited documents—speeches, treaties, statements, and articles—traces the rise and fall of the Cold War. The sources follow the Cold War from its roots in East–West tensions at the end of World War II to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Set in historical context by the editors’ concise introductions and followed by thoughtful discussion questions, the documents are arranged in chronological order, starting with the Yalta Conference and ending with Gorbachev’s resignation speech. Drawing on selections from a variety of countries and leaders involved in this prolonged global struggle, the editors treat the entire Cold War as an era in world history, not just U.S. history. Their judicious selection makes the great events of the time come alive through the words and phrases of those who were actively involved.

Download or read book The Cold War written by Jeremy Black and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-29 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 History 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.

Book excerpt: “Outstanding . . . The most accessible distillation of that conflict yet written.” —The Boston Globe “Energetically written and lucid, it makes an ideal introduction to the subject.” —The New York Times The “dean of Cold War historians” (The New York Times) now presents the definitive account of the global confrontation that dominated the last half of the twentieth century. Drawing on newly opened archives and the reminiscences of the major players, John Lewis Gaddis explains not just what happened but why—from the months in 1945 when the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. went from alliance to antagonism to the barely averted holocaust of the Cuban Missile Crisis to the maneuvers of Nixon and Mao, Reagan and Gorbachev. Brilliant, accessible, almost Shakespearean in its drama, The Cold War stands as a triumphant summation of the era that, more than any other, shaped our own. Gaddis is also the author of On Grand Strategy.
