In the late 1970s, new generations of nuclear delivery systems were proposed for deployment across Eastern and Western Europe. The ensuing controversy grew to become a key phase in the late Cold War. This book explores the origins, unfolding, and consequences of that crisis. Contributors from international relations, political science, sociology, and history draw on extensive research in a number of countries, often employing declassified documents from the West and from the newly opened state and party archives of many Soviet bloc countries. They cover especially Soviet-Warsaw Pact relations, U. S.-NATO relations, and the role of public opinion worldwide in relation to the crisis. | The Euromissile Crisis and the End of the Cold War by Leopoldo Nuti, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
