20th century history: c 1900 to c 2000; The Cold War; Social & political philosophy; Political ideologies; Diplomacy

Series: Routledge Studies in Modern History

In this book, some of Philip Towle’s major contributions are brought together to shed light on the Cold War and its aftermath.

Topics include the build-up of chemical and nuclear weapons, the attack on New York’s World Trade Center in 2001, intervention in overseas conflicts and the role of the Church. The first section concentrates on the ways in which the West has interfered in conflicts around the world from the Vietnam War to Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq, and explains why intervention worked in former Yugoslavia but not in countries such as Vietnam, Afghanistan or Libya. The second section focuses on arms control and disarmament, how they were linked to intervention – particularly through the fear of terrorism – and how and why some arms control measures succeeded, and some did not.

Intervention and Disarmament: In a Culturally Diverse World is useful for postgraduates and scholars interested in international affairs and warfare in the modern world.
