Summary |
"Paul Thomas Chamberlin boldly argues that the Cold War, long viewed as a mostly peaceful, if tense, diplomatic standoff between democracy and communism, was actually a part of a vast, deadly conflict that killed millions on battlegrounds across the postcolonial world. For half a century, as an uneasy peace hung over Europe, ferocious proxy wars raged in the Cold Wars killing fields, resulting in more than fourteen million dead victims who remain largely forgotten and all but lost to history." -- from Amazon description. |
