Summary/Abstract: Research on the Cold War has been moving towards a global narrative for the past two decades and that is why it is surprising that the end of this conflict in Africa has received only a minimal attention. Dr Flavia Gasbarri tries to fill these gaps in the contemporary historiography of the Cold War in her book “The United States and the end of Cold War in Africa, A Bridge between Global Conflict and the New World Order, 1988–1994”. The book was published in 2020 and is based on her dissertation project of the same name, thanks to which she completed her PhD at King’s College London in 2014. In recent years Gasbarri has worked as a Teaching Fellow at the Department of War Studies (KCL) and later at the Defence Studies Department at the Joint Services Command and Staff College in Shrivenham. She focuses her research and expertise on the United States during and after the end of the Cold War in Africa, with a deeper focus on sub-Saharan Africa and the Horn of Africa
