Review of the set: 'There has never been a Cold War history like
it; everything about it is monumental … In total, the volumes
represent a successful interconnected attempt at describing the
Cold War in full.' Jost Dülffer, H-Soz-u-Kult
Review of the set: 'The Cambridge History of the Cold War (CHCW)
marks a coming of age for Cold War studies. This multi-volume
compilation provides a synthesis of the 'New Cold War History'. It
is a signal moment in the evolution of the field.' Mike Sewell,
H-Diplo
Review of the set: '… if (I) could recommend just three books to a
reader with no prior knowledge of the Cold War - the average
undergraduate, say - it would likely be this series. The breadth
and depth of coverage, in disciplinary and geographical terms, is
unparalleled.' David Milne, H-Diplo
'The geographic span of the book is particularly impressive,
covering many regions and countries, including those not
traditionally integrated into the narrative … In this way, the
authors combine the thematic-chronological approach with a regional
context, significantly expanding our concept of the Cold War and
its impact on countries and peoples.' Ilya Gaiduk, H-Diplo
'… this fine volume brings together leading scholars in the field
to present in clear and perceptive chapters the latest knowledge
and the current state of debate on the Cold War. There is no better
place to begin to understand this conflict.' Michael Hopkins,
H-Diplo
'… a sophisticated and lucid history of the Cold War during its
second phase…' Sandra Scanlon, H-Diplo
