Reviews

Madeleine Herren, coauthor of Transcultural History: Theories, Methods, Sources:
This brilliantly written book offers a new understanding of the Cold War through the lens of international organizations. Kott unfolds various forms of internationalisms, whose impact, form, and content revolve around the global scale of social and economic inequality during the Cold War period.

Talbot C. Imlay, author of The Practice of Socialist Internationalism: European Socialists and International Politics, 1914-1960:
In this immensely stimulating study, Sandrine Kott delineates exciting new paths for twentieth-century international and global history. Using international organizations as sites to explore the shifting balance of social, economic, and political forces between the Western, Communist, and Third worlds, Kott shows that the Cold War was much more than simply a struggle between two superpowers.

Patricia Clavin, author of Securing the World Economy: The Reinvention of the League of Nations, 1920–1946:
This terrific history of the last great efforts to effect global coordination and cooperation could not be more timely given the enormous and extraordinarily dangerous challenges the world faces today. It is a powerful corrective to the notion that conflict means the end of cooperation, showing that internationalism was not marginal to the Cold War, but a characteristic feature of it.
