This period was called the Cold War--a conflict that stopped short to a full-blown war. Benefiting from the recent research of newly open archives, the Encyclopedia of the Cold War discusses how this state of perpetual tensions arose, developed, and was resolved. This work examines the military, economic, diplomatic, and political evolution of the conflict as well as its impact on the different regions and cultures of the world. Using a unique geopolitical approach that will present Russian perspectives and others, the work covers all aspects of the Cold War, from communism to nuclear escalation and from UFOs to red diaper babies, highlighting its vast-ranging and lasting impact on international relations as well as on daily life. Although the work will focus on the 1945-1991 period, it will explore the roots of the conflict, starting with the formation of the Soviet state, and its legacy to the present day--Publisher's description.  aCurrent Copyright Fee: GBP34.00c0.5Uk 72fast0(OCoLC)fst017549781https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39Qhp4vBbvhYhcM6fy9r83JBX 0aCold WarvEncyclopedias. 2aEncyclopedia 7aencyclopedias.2aat 7aEncyclopedias.2fast0(OCoLC)fst014237981 aDijk, Ruud van.08iOnline version:tEncyclopedia of the Cold War.dNew York : Routledge, 2008w(OCoLC)679374786423Book review (H-Net)uhttp://www.h-net.org/reviews/showrev.php?id=25982423Publisher descriptionuhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0827/2007039661-d.html
