"...[An] invaluable resource for specialists and students alike....Every major region of the world is covered, as is almost every conceivable topic....One of the book's many strengths is that the contributors do not speak with a single voice. Rather, they represent a diversity of viewpoints and perspectives....[T]he collection stands as a magnificent achievement. Its breadth and its helpful bibliographical aids alone make this a must-have volume."--Journal of Cold War Studies
