In the view of Engel (Texas A&M U.), there has been a welcome revolution in diplomatic history that takes account of the impact of everyday lives on the flow of international affairs, yet there remains a need to take account of the opposite, the role of international affairs on the everyday lives of individuals. The 11 chapters he collects here attempt a corrective in attempting to understand local and domestic consequences of the diplomatic history of the Cold War. The topics addressed within the contributions include Japanese culture and cinema during the period of American occupation, changes in student life and consciousness in Berlin, the impact of the Cold War on the culture and economy of the American South, the impact of the Boeing Corporation's Cold War military role on the American Pacific Northwest, the impact of the aerospace and defense industries on the Los Angeles area, the Cold War's environmental impacts on Scotland, the land policies of East Germany, the arrival and impact of thousands of nuclear missiles in the state of North Dakota, and Cold War impacts in Angola and East Timor.
