Description: "Up to now the study of Cold War history has been fully engaged in stressing the international character and broad themes of the story. This volume turns such diplomatic history upside down by studying how actions of international relations affected local popular life. Each chapter has its origins in a major international issue and the unfolds the consequences of that issue for some region or city."--Jacket.
