Review of "Cold War's Killing Fields" on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This is a really incredible book which everyone should read. Basically, this book is a detailed outline of the following conflicts:
-The Chinese Civil War
-The Korean War
-The Vietnam War
-The events in Indonesia covered by the Jakarta Method
-Bangledesh
-Cambodia
-Lebanese Civil War
-The Iranian Revolution
-The Iran/Iraq War
-The Soviet/Afghanistan War
...and more.
I had wanted to read more about Latin America in the Cold War, and this book doesn't cover that. I had also wanted to read about Cypress and Greece but they are only mentioned in passing here. However, the amount of detail on the above conflicts really makes this worth the read. It is also illuminating to consider Yugoslavia in light of what I learned in this book.
