Lorenz M. Lüthi is Associate Professor at McGill University, Montréal, and is a leading historian of the Cold War. His first book The Sino-Soviet Split: Cold War in the Communist World (2008) won the 2008 Furniss Award and the 2010 Marshall Shulman Book Prize. His publications on the Vietnam war, Asian-African internationalism, and non-alignment have broken new ground in Cold War history.

'Epic in scope and daring in its intellectual ambition, Cold Wars forces us to rethink our conventional wisdom about the international history of the past hundred years. By taking a regional approach, more horizontal than vertical, Lorenz M. Lüthi reveals the inner workings of the Cold War system.' Andrew Preston, author of American Foreign Relations: A Very Short Introduction
