Produktbeschreibung

The early Cold War was a period of dramatic change. New superpowers emerged, the European powers were eclipsed, colonial empires tottered. Political leaders everywhere had to make immense adjustments. This volume explores their hopes and fears, their sense of their place in the world and of the constraints under which they laboured.

Rezensionen

Praise for Mental Maps in the Era of Two World Wars':

'This fine collection of essays on the 'mental maps' of key statesmen during the inter-war period makes an important contribution to this new approach ... a stimulating and extremely useful set of essays.' - Peter Jackson, English Historical Review

'This is an excellent book deeply researched by its 14 contributors, concisely and engagingly written, and impressively argued overall. It is one that professors of modern global history and international relations will want to read, take notes on, and have on their shelves for reference; and many will want to assign either the entire book or selected chapters as required reading.' - Ralph Levering, Davidson College, Cold War History
