About this product
Product Information
The lines of armed conflict, and the catastrophic perils they portended, were shaped with shocking clarity in the immediate aftermath of World War II. Less clear is the role religious ideology played in the conflicts that defined the Cold War era. All too often, beliefs held sacred by some became tools to motivate action or create friction. In Religion and the Cold War, Philip Muehlenbeck assembles an international team of specialists to explore how religion informed the ideological and military clashes across the globe in the second half of the twentieth century. Students and scholars will find in this volume a level of comprehensiveness rarely achieved in Cold War studies. Each chapter reveals that the power and influence of ideas are just as important as military might in the struggles between superpowers--and that few ideas, then as now, carry as much force as religious ideology. As Muehlenbeck and his contributors demonstrate, no area of the world, and no religious tenet, was safe from the manipulations of a powerful set of players focused solely on their own sphere of influence.

Reviews
" Religion and the Cold War is a crucial reminder that religion shaped the international context of the Cold War for both the United States and the Soviet Union in the decades following World War II. A much-needed collection of essays, this volume demonstrates that nations who resisted the two superpowers often did so through religious organizations and religious visions of their own national communities." -- David Zietsma , Redeemer University College, "This is an ambitious and stimulating volume that reflects two of the most important trends in the recent study of the Cold War: the role of religion in its development, and its global nature. Bible-bearing balloons launched into the German wind, the surprising relationship between the Soviet state and its four Central Asian muftiates, tensions between South Vietnam's Catholic leadership and the majority Buddhist opposition--these episodes, and many more, add an exciting and essential new dimension to the history of this vital era." -- Andrew J. Rotter , Colgate University, author of Hiroshima: The World's Bomb, "... Religion and the Cold War is an essential contribution to religious history, history of the Cold War, and twentieth-century international history." -- H-Net Reviews

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
