By reconstructing a multidimensional story that focuses on both the impact of the Soviet Union on the end of the Portuguese Empire in Africa and the effect of the anticolonial struggles on the Soviet Union, Natalia Telepneva bridges the gap between the narratives of individual anticolonial movements and those of superpower rivalry in sub-Saharan Africa during the Cold War. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDrawing on newly available archival sources from Russia and Eastern Europe and interviews with key participants, Telepneva emphasizes the agency of African liberation leaders who enlisted the superpower into their movements via their relationships with middle-ranking members of the Soviet bureaucracy. These administrators had considerable scope to shape policies in the Portuguese colonies which in turn increased the Soviet commitment to decolonization in the wider region. An innovative reinterpretation of the relationships forged between African revolutionaries and the countries of the Warsaw Pact, \u003ci\u003eCold War Liberation\u003c\/i\u003e is a bold addition to debates about policy-making in the Global South during the Cold War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe are proud to offer this book in our usual print and ebook formats, plus as an open-access edition available through the Sustainable History Monograph Project. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 302\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.68 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 06, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42949653823623,"sku":"9781469665863","price":64.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/N01idy9GdVpwQ1QzaGtSeUZwb0xFZz09_f0003e5c-f200-447d-a308-9dc48f90c500.webp?v=1753776698","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/cold-war-liberation-the-soviet-union-and-the-collapse-of-the-portuguese-empire-in-africa-1961-1975-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
