About this product
Product Information
A brilliant, young historian offers a vital, comprehensive international military history of the Cold War in which he views the decades-long superpower struggle as one of the three great conflicts of the twentieth century, alongside the two World Wars, and reveals how bloody the "long peace" actually was. In this sweeping, deeply researched book, Paul Thomas Chamberlin boldly argues that the Cold War, long viewed as a mostly peaceful, if tense, diplomatic standoff between democracy and communism, fostered a series of deadly conflicts that killed millions on battlegrounds across the postcolonial world. For half a century, as an uneasy accord hung over Europe, ferocious wars raged in the Cold War's killing fields, resulting in more than fourteen million dead-victims who remain largely forgotten and all but lost to history. A superb work of scholarship, The Cold War's Killing Fields is the first global military history of this conflict and the first full accounting of its devastating impact. More than previous armed conflicts, the wars of the post-1945 era ravaged civilians across vast stretches of territory, from Korea and Vietnam to Bangladesh and Afghanistan to Iraq and Lebanon. Chamberlin provides an understanding of this sweeping history from the ground up and offers a moving portrait of human suffering, capturing the voices of those who experienced the brutal warfare. Chamberlin reframes this period in global history and explores in detail the numerous battles fought to prevent nuclear war, bolster the strategic hegemony of the United States and the USSR, and determine the fates of societies throughout the Third World.

Reviews
"Chamberlin convincingly shows that the Cold War (1945-90) was neither cold nor solely a confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. Chamberlin has done for the Cold War era what Fredrik Logevall's Choosing War did for the Vietnam War. Historians and other informed readers will find much to consider in this significant revisionist work." -- Library Journal "Ambitious, important... [a] tour de force." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) [An] "eye-opening ... precise, painful account of the Cold War.... what's so valuable about Chamberlin's book is that it draws the separate wars together into one intelligent, crisply written narrative. Doing so drives home just how relentlessly murderous the Cold War was. It also allows Chamberlin to make an important and novel argument about where the killings took place." -- The Nation
