Omschrijving

This book explores how, following the Algerian War, the Mediterranean emerged as a key battleground of the Cold War for France. Between the 1960s and 1980s, France positioned itself as the United States' most reliable ally in countering the Soviet Union's attempts to establish a presence in Southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. To achieve this, France implemented a comprehensive containment strategy that engaged a wide range of actors and tools, including military forces, diplomats, intelligence agencies, scientists and aid workers. This approach allowed France to preserve its influence amidst the Soviet Union's southward expansion during the global Cold War. From Lebanon to Morocco, and through Cyprus, Greece and Italy, each crisis served as a test of the complex dynamics between Paris, Moscow and Washington.

France's Mediterranean Cold War will appeal to a diverse audience, including researchers, postgraduate students in history and international relations, professionals in international relations and diplomats. It will also be of interest to general readers, offering a unique perspective on the history of the Cold War and French foreign policy and providing an alternative lens through which to understand this critical period.
