Cold War in East Asia, 1945-1991

Zusatztext "There is, clearly, a real need for a book of this sort and it will doubtless be welcomed by scholars in all of those fields, as well as international/diplomatic historians more broadly and area specialists and comparativists in Political Science." Informationen zum Autor Tsuyoshi Hasegawa is Professor of History at University of California, Santa Barbara. Klappentext This collection studies Asia as a second front in the Cold War, examining U.S.-Soviet rivalry in terms of the foreign policies of China, Japan, North and South Korea, the USSR, and the United States. It argues that, as a second front, the Cold War in East Asia influenced the shape of the main East-West front and also the Cold War's development in the third world.
