Odd Arne Westad. The Cold War
“It was a bit like buying a car,” wittily writes Odd Arne Westad, historian and author of The Cold War: A World History. “In my heart, I would like a bit of Volvo, and a bit of Ford, and a bit of Toyota. But I cannot have that, since manufacturers refuse to sell their new cars in parts . . . The Cold War was a bit like that. Most people had to take what was available, even if it conflicted with specific needs or even with common sense” (628). Thi…

What Was the Cold War? Imagined Reality, Ordinary People's War, and Social Mechanism
What was the Cold War? Cold War Crucible: The Korean Conflict and the Postwar World (Harvard University Press, 2015) is an inquiry into the very nature and meanings of the conflict.

The goal of this agreement was to calm down immigration d…
Cold War Crucible
The Korean War through the Prism of Chinese Society
A great deal has been written about the Korean War, but most of it has dealt with high-level decision-making or the experiences of combat units and soldiers. This article takes a different approach, looking at the reactions of Chinese citizens to the war and the way their perceptions were molded in part by the Communist regime and in part by memories of the brutal Japanese occupation in the 1930s and 1940s. Formerly classified Chinese documents s…

Fear of World War III
This article traces the ways in which the Korean War inspired and stimulated diverse local discussions on Japan’s rearmament, which contributed to the reconstruction of memories of World War II and the shaping of a fear of World War III, which, in turn, had fundamental effects on the direction of postwar Japan. First, the article looks into immediate reactions to the outbreak of the Korean War, namely the establishment of the National Police Rese…
