by Dr Norman Friedman
Read Norman Friedman's article 'The Fifty-Year War: Conflict and Strategy in the Cold War' in RUSI Journal
Norman Friedman examines the Cold War not from the perspective of a difficult peace but in the context of a Third World War conducted at a much slower pace than a hot war. He examines the conflict from its early beginnings during the Spanish Civil War to the end of the Soviet State in 1991.
