Synopsis

A landmark global history that makes us rethink how the Cold War ended and our present era was born This book offers a bold new interpretation of the revolutions of 1989,* showing how a new world order was forged&;without major conflict. Based on extensive archival research,* Kristina Spohr attributes this in large measure to determined diplomacy by a handful of international leaders,* who engaged in tough but cooperative negotiation to reinvent the institutions of the Cold War. She offers a major reappraisal of George H. W. Bush and innovative assessments of Mikhail Gorbachev and Helmut Kohl,* as well as Margaret Thatcher and François Mitterrand. But,* she argues,* Europe&;s transformation must be understood in global context. By contrasting events in Berlin and Moscow with the brutal suppression of the pro-democracy movement in Beijing,* the book reveals how Deng Xiaoping pushed through China&;s very different Communist reinvention. Here is an authoritative yet highly readable exploration of the crucial hinge years of 1989&;1992 and their consequences for today&;s world.
