The Mediterranean sea has been a key geopolitical territory in the global international relations of the twentieth century; of crucial importance to the US, the Middle East and in the history of the EU. As Cold War documents become declassified and these archives become accessible to western historians, this volume reassesses the secret war waged over three decades for control of the Mediterranean Sea. An 'American lake' in the 1950s, a battlefield for influence in the Cold War of the 1960s, and an increasingly important political arena for the oil-rich Gulf States in the 1970s, the Mediterranean offers a focal point around which the major themes and narratives of Cold War history were constructed. "Detente in Cold War Europe" draws together detailed analyses of the major moments of post-WWII history through the prism of the Mediterranean - including the signing of the Helsinki Accords in 1975, the Jordan crisis of 1970, the Soviet role in the Yom Kippur war, the Cyprus emergency of 1974, US-Soviet detente and US-Israeli relations under President Nixon. This book is a vital work for historians of the twentieth century and for those seeking to understand the importance of the Mediterranean in the political history of the Cold War.

Questo volume affronta, secondo tre direttrici fondamentali, gli avvenimenti del 1943, vero e proprio anno cerniera nel secondo conflitto mondiale, l'anno della svolta fatale: mutarono gli equilibri internazionali, si sfaldo l'unita dell'Asse e la fortezza Europa fu scalfita per la prima volta, in Sicilia, dagli Alleati. Mentre la gigantesca offensiva sovietica avviava l'accerchiamento di Hitler, l'iniziativa statunitense nel Pacifico costringeva il Giappone ad arroccarsi, in una strenua difesa dei territori conquistati. Grazie al rovesciamento degli equilibri militari e al controllo dei cieli e dei mari, gli Alleati poterono invadere la Sicilia, indurre la caduta di Mussolini, costringere l'Italia ad arrendersi e a schierarsi infine al loro fianco. Ma la crisi del 1943, scuotendo profondamente le societa in guerra, diede infine l'avvio in Italia, come gia in Europa, alla Resistenza, che recupero il patrimonio dell'antifascismo e si contrappose al nazismo e ai regimi di collaborazione sorti nei territori occupati: dalla Francia di Vichy alla Repubblica sociale italiana. Una storia, come dimostra il presente volume, ancora da studiare e capire.
