Summary/Abstract: The volume edited by Jager and Mitter is one of the most fascinating books one may have the chance to find in book stores these days, especially due to the topic approached, topic that concerns both an academic area of Cold War studies usually less investigated and also a geographical area of the world not usually associated with Cold War thinking. This most interesting collection of essays focuses on the social implications of the Cold War and gathers a large group of researchers from various cultural and scientific backgrounds and of various nationalities, as well.
