Book Review

Heiβe Kriege im Kalten Krieg (Hot wars in the Cold War). Ed. by Bernd Greiner, Christian Th. Müller, and Dierk Walter. (Hamburg: Hamburger Edition, 2006. 514 pp. €35.00, ISBN 3-936096-61-9.) In German.
The title of this volume reminds readers that much of the violence of the Cold War era took place in the developing world. According to one estimate, all but two hundred thousand of the 20 million people who died in wars between 1945 and 1990 were casualities in the more than one hundred major conflicts that took place in developing countries (p. 16). Most Third World conflicts were indigenous in origin, and their eventual outcome was determined more by their internal histories and characteristics than by U.S. and Soviet policies. Nevertheless, as the essays in this valuable collection demonstrate, the Cold War played a role in almost every conflict in the Third World.	1
This collection grew out of a conference held in Hamburg in 2004. Ten of the seventeen contributors are U.S.-based scholars; the remaining seven are based in Germany. Most of the essays draw on primary documents and/or long engagement with and deep knowledge of their respective topics.	. . .
