Book • 2018
In *The Cold War's Killing Fields*, Paul Thomas Chamberlin challenges the traditional narrative of the Cold War as a peaceful era, instead revealing it as a period of intense conflict that resulted in over 14 million deaths.

The book explores the proxy wars and battles fought between the U.S.

and the Soviet Union, impacting regions from Korea and Vietnam to Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

Chamberlin provides a comprehensive military history, capturing the human suffering and strategic implications of these conflicts.
