The book covers five key themes: the nascent Cold War, the region’s uneasy relations with the Superpowers, military alliances, the role of culture and identity, and the dilemmas the Balkans faced in the 1970s and the 1980s.
At this event the editors spoke on these themes, with introductory comments by Professor Arne Westad and Dr Vesselin Dimitrov.
