Soviet influence spread insidiously from nation to nation, and the Atlantic powersthe Americans, the British, and a small band of allieswere caught flat-footed by the coups, collapsing armies, and civil wars that sprung from all sides. The Cold War had begun in earnest.In The Atlantic and Its Enemies, prize-winning historian Norman Stone assesses the years between World War II and the collapse of the Iron Curtain. He vividly demonstrates that for every Atlantic success there seemed to be a dozen Communist or Third World triumphs. Then, suddenly and against all odds, the Atlantic woneconomically, ideologically, and militarilywith astonishing speed and finality.An elegant and path-breaking history, The Atlantic and Its Enemies is a monument to the immense suffering and conflict of the twentieth century, and an illuminating exploration of how the Atlantic triumphed over its enemies at last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOrders are despatched from our UK warehouse next working day.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51930787447072,"sku":"NEW0465020437","price":20.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-atlantic-and-its-enemies-a-personal-history-of-the-cold-war-0465020437","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
