In The Cold War, Odd Arne Westad offers a new perspective on a century when a superpower rivalry and an ideological war transformed every corner of our globe. We traditionally think of the Cold War as a post-World War II diplomatic and military conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. But in this major new work, Westad argues that the conflict must be understood as a global ideological confrontation with roots in the industrial revolution and with continuing implications for the world today. The Cold War may have begun on the perimeters of Europe, but it had its largest impacts in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Expanding our understanding of the Cold War both geographically and chronologically, Westad offers the definitive new history of an ongoing battle.

There is a ton of great information in this book, but it lacks overall organisation. The Chapters jump from one topic to another with little or no direction. Overall it is still worth the listen but I think that a better means of organising the information and threads would make it much more compelling.

Deep but disjointed

This book was an engaging history lesson. It is not over filled with boring details and timelines, but follows a narrative approach finishing ideas and plot lines as needed, sometimes going back in history to pick up on loose ends. At no point did I think this book too long or dry. Highly recommended.

very enjoyable.

Wonderful mixture of factual information and speculation on global trends and forces peppered with insightful quotations to add colour to the mélange.
