"Wide-ranging and incisive, Socialism Goes Global marks the culmination of a decade's intensive efforts to understand the global place of central and Eastern Europe before and during the Cold War. Covering everything from development to diplomacy, from race to rights, the book also points the way forward, and will guide fruitful work for decades to come. Required reading for anyone interested in the region's past, present, and future. * David C. Engerman, Yale University, author of The Price of Aid: The Economic Cold War in India * This fascinating book provides an innovative overview of the relationship between Eastern Europe and the Global South, documenting the wealth of interactions in economic relations, politics, military relations, intellectual life, culture, health, mobility, labour, and human rights. The book breaks new ground, both historiographically and methodologically, and will become a mandatory reference for anyone studying the global reach of Eastern European socialism. * Theodora Dragostinova, Ohio State University, author of The Cold War from the Margins: A Small Socialist State on the Global Cultural Scene * This insightful, well-arranged volume elucidates multiple encounters between ""Second"" and ""Third Worlds"" in what is now referred to as the global Cold War. Essential reading for students of imperialism and anti-colonialism. * Saul Dubow, Cambridge University * An excellent overview of a much neglected topic: the crucial links that existed between socialist countries and newly liberated countries in post-colonial regions. The thematic approach helps show both the significance of these connections and their limitations. * Odd Arne Westad, Yale University, author of The Cold War: A World History *"
