Mental Maps in the Era of Détente and the End of the Cold War 1968-91

Mental Maps in the Era of Détente and the End of the Cold War recreates the way in which the revolutionary changes of the last phase of the Cold War were perceived by fifteen of its leading figures in the West, East and developing world.

This book is a hugely ambitious and very wide-ranging summary of no fewer than fifteen visions of political leadership, from Richard Nixon to Nelson Mandela. Mental Maps in the Era of Détente tackles a very important topic and its pen-portraits would make an extremely useful teaching aid.
