Rather than viewing the Cold War simply as a confrontation between two superpowers, Westad shows how it transformed politics, economies, societies, and national movements across virtually every region of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeginning with the ideological roots of the conflict and continuing through its conclusion in 1991, Westad examines how capitalism and communism competed to shape the modern world. He explores major events and developments across Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, including decolonization, revolutionary movements, proxy wars, nuclear competition, and the rise of new political and economic systems. The book highlights how countries outside Washington and Moscow were not merely passive participants but often pursued their own interests and visions for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmbitious, deeply researched, and globally focused, \u003cem\u003eThe Cold War: A World History\u003c\/em\u003e offers a broader understanding of how the Cold War reshaped the international system and helped create many of the political realities of today's world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll learn\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe global origins and development of the Cold War\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow capitalism and communism competed for worldwide influence\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe role of Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East in the conflict\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow decolonization and nationalism shaped Cold War politics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lasting impact of the Cold War on today's international system\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho should read it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaders interested in world history and geopolitics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudents of international relations and political science\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone seeking a global perspective on the Cold War\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaders interested in the connections between the Cold War and modern world politics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy Cold War from Readers' Republik\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy in Kenya with fast delivery straight to your doorstep\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurated collection of books on history, geopolitics, and international affairs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimple and reliable online book shopping experience\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBooks chosen for ambitious, curious readers who want to understand the world\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated books:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Cold War: A New History\u003c\/em\u003e – John Lewis Gaddis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDiplomacy\u003c\/em\u003e – Henry Kissinger\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDestined for War\u003c\/em\u003e – Graham Allison\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Readers Republik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44521752658009,"sku":null,"price":3500.0,"currency_code":"KES","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/4292\/1049\/files\/ColdWarAWorldHistorybyOddArneWestad.jpg?v=1786614335","url":"https:\/\/readersrepublik.com\/products\/cold-war-a-world-history-by-odd-arne-westad","provider":"Readers Republik","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
