1. Introduction -- Part One: Between Wars? 1945-1967 -- 2. Origins: The World In 1946 -- 3. The Struggle For Europe -- 4. Nuclear Perils -- 5. Asian Theaters -- 6. Decolonization and Third World Struggles -- 7. Khrushchev and Kennedy -- Part Two: Living in the Cold War -- 8. National Security and Repression -- 9. Spies, Saboteurs, and Defectors -- 10. Cold War Cultures -- Part Three: The Struggle Redefined: 1968-1991 -- 11. Crisis of Ideologies: The World in 1968 -- 12. A Cold Peace, or War by Other Means? -- 13. Four Minutes to Midnight: The World in 1980 -- 14. The New Struggle -- 15. Endgame -- 16. Conclusion: Winners, Losers, and Inheritors.

This textbook provides a dynamic and concise overview of the Cold War. Offering balanced coverage of the whole era, it takes a firmly global approach, showing how at various times the focus of East-West rivalry shifted to new and surprising venues, from Laos to Katanga, from Nicaragua to Angola. Throughout, Jenkins emphasises intelligence, technology and religion, as well as highlighting themes that are relevant to the present day. A rich array of popular culture examples is used to demonstrate how the crisis was understood and perceived by mainstream audiences across the world, and the book includes three 'snapshot' chapters, which offer an overview of the state of play at pivotal moments in the conflict - 1946, 1968 and 1980 - in order to illuminate the inter-relationship between apparently discrete situations. This is an essential introduction for students studying Cold War, twentieth century or Global history.
