In this ambitious work, Alfred W. McCoy uses a bottom-up, outside-in approach to offer an unexpected new perspective on the longest, most consequential conflict in modern history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMcCoy renders an intimate portrait of both embattled covert operatives and committed antiwar protesters, thus humanising the history of the Cold War  a history that has too often been told in impersonal terms of economic growth, nuclear arsenals, or diplomatic ententes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs today's great powers devote humanity's scarce resources toward ratcheting up a 'new cold war' in the face of a worsening climate crisis, McCoy's history is an important reminder that otherwise- ordinary individuals once helped end a global conflict that threatened nuclear holocaust.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alfred W.
