520 |a In the introduction of his thoroughly researched book, William Inboden points out Cold War historians' insufficient treatment of religion in analyzing the causes of the conflict. While these scholars have offered valuable insight, they tend to “ignore God” (p. 4). Inboden accurately calls this a significant oversight since Americans in the early Cold War perceived the struggle as a spiritual one. In this book, the author uses his knowledge of both religion and politics to argue that religion was both a cause of the Cold War and an instrument employed in fighting it. He contends that American political leaders sought to establish a “diplomatic theology,” a civil religion that would unite Americans as well as people of faith around the world in opposition to atheistic communism.
