What is Horké krize studené války about?
The book focuses on critical moments in the Cold War when international tension erupted into open conflict or brought the world to the brink of a wider military confrontation.
Vladimír Nálevka examines the first Berlin crisis and the Soviet blockade of access routes to West Berlin, the war on the Korean Peninsula, the Suez Crisis, and the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. The book's broader scope also encompasses other local and proxy conflicts in which the geopolitical interests of the two major power blocs collided.
These events are not treated in isolation. The author places them within the development of international relations after World War II, tracing the alternation between confrontation and periods of relative relaxation. The book builds on Nálevka's earlier works on the Cold War and the Caribbean crisis.
