<em>“</em>Cold War Cultures<em> is an ambitious collection of essays by an interdisciplinary group of American and European scholars – including historians, sociologists, and cultural theorists… [that] makes a compelling case for why individual countries in Europe should be included in the historiography of the conflict.”</em> <strong>· Canadian-American Slavic Studies</strong></p>

<em>“…this is a book for researchers, but I believe those who are interested in European culture from the 1950s to 1980s would appreciate these scholarly pieces as vivid explanations of its background. The editors have done a great job in combining such varied topics into a single volume.”</em><strong> · European Review of History: Revue européenne d'histoire</strong></p>

<em>“This is a very interesting edited collection of essays that makes a valuable and indeed a pathbreaking contribution to the study of an important emerging area… [It] offers a very original take on the [existing] literature in that it seeks to broaden the debate to ask questions about European Cold War Cultures, as opposed to the North American ones that have dominated the literature hitherto.”</em><strong> · Mark Pittaway</strong>, Open University, UK</p>
