| Summary: | I could happily discuss every essay in this excellent collection edited by Philip E. Muehlenbeck, which is based on a multidisciplinary approach with emphasis on multiarchival and multinational research. A short review can offer but a taste of some of the fourteen fine contributions that greatly enhance our understanding of what has become known as the “religious cold war.” As Muehlenbeck cogently notes, the religious component of the Cold War, once badly neglected, has received sufficient attention in the past decade to now qualify as a subgenre. The collection extends the existing scholarship in terms of geographical reach, time span, and range of religions. Andrew Preston's introduction explores why religion assumed notable significance in the East–West conflict. |
