A Cold War »Military Turn«: Opportunities and Challenges

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This essay assesses the current landscape of Cold War historiography, suggesting the time is ripe for a fresh approach focussing on a »Military Turn«. The discussion appraises the opportunities and challenges such an approach entails, and argues that, should it be successfully embraced, it promises rewards not simply for understanding the Cold War, but also for the future of military history.
